We got down to the final table just in time for dinner. The players racked up their chips and moved them to the main final table stage before they left to find sustenance. And they'd better prepare themselves for the long haul. They're going to be here for a while when they return.
As many of the players were already racking up their chips and starting to move across to the feature table, a massive hand was going down on the final hand before the break.

Fischman is out, Traniello is crippled and cursing his way over to the feature table, while Glantz is now up to a commanding 1.8 million chips.
Marco Johnson raised the button before Scott Fischman re-popped it in the small blind. Johnson made the call and the flop fell . Fischman fired a bet on the flop, as well as the turn and river with Johnson calling him down.

We just learnt that Richard Ashby is currently being blinded out of the $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha and he just asked a tournament official if it was possible to unregister.
However he was informed that because he registered late, he would be unable to get a refund, and that refunds are only possible for those who pre-register.
"I guess we know what you're doing at dinner!" laughed Matt Glantz.
An interesting situation has gone down where Marco Johnson's cards were accidentally mucked by the dealer.
Johnson had raised in stud with the showing and Marco Traniello, to his direct left folded. As the dealer reached over to sweep up Traniello's cards, he accidentally collected Johnson's cards as well.
"Woah!" exclaimed Johnson, "What you doing boss?!"
Johnson was obviously agitated and Nick Schulman tried to calm him down as Johnson started to get aggressive. Unfortunately Johnson's cards could not be retrieved but he was given his raise amount back.
Scott Fischman completed and then called the raise of Ian Gordon. On fourth and fifth, Gordon led the betting before Fischman took control on sixth and seventh. Gordon called him down.
