Big Double for Diaz
They are just two eliminations away from the money, and the tension is rising accordingly. Just now some added drama came in the form of a big preflop all-in hand between two players with average stacks, something the remaining short stacks were only too glad to see.
The hand began with Thomas Conway opening for 12,000 from under the gun, then David Diaz reraised to 21,000 from one seat over. The table folded back to Conway who shoved all in, and Diaz called for 175,500 total.
Conway: 
Diaz: 
The board came 
, and now Diaz sits with more than 360,000 while Conway has become one of the short stacks.
At the same time, a player was eliminated from another table.
We are now on the bubble.
