With seven players remaining, we have been sent on a 20-minute break. When the players return, they will be going to the "unofficial" final table of seven.
Stud
It has taken two hands to see Scott Clements eliminated on the bubble of the "unofficial" final table of seven. The first hand that left him crippled saw him check-raised on seventh street by Chris Bjorin. At the end, the hands looked like this.
Bjorin: Board - / Hole -
Clements: Board - / Hole -
Clements held a straight to the seven, while Bjorin managed to hold a straight to the king. The very next hand saw Clements all in during the first round of betting, having to come up against Thomas Chambers.

Chambers drew the straight and Clement's cards went into the muck as he was sent out the door in eighth place.

Julien Renard opened for 15,000 in the small blind and Gabriel Nassif moved all in from the big blind. Renard called and the hands were tabled.
Renard:
Nassif:
The board ran and Renard won the hand. Renards stack was counted at 121,000 even. Nassif counted his stack and he had 121,500 exactly. Both stacks were counted a second time for verification and Nassif was indeed left with one T500 purple chip.
He tossed his last chip in for the ante and the game switched to Razz. Michael Saltzburg decided to play the hand he made a jack-ten low and Nassif was eliminated.

We didn't see how the betting went down exactly, but Tommy Hang was on the button when he was all in for around 150,000 holding . He was up against Scott Clements in the small blind, with him holding .
By the time the board had run out, Hang had raked in the double up, while Clements chip stack is still quite healthy.

Matthew Ashton was left crippled just a short while ago and now he has played his last hand of poker in this tournament. The game that he was eliminated in was Stud Eight-or-Better.
Ashton was all in from the beginning of the hand and by the time his cards were all out on the felt, they looked like this (in no particular order) and with his river card going into the muck. That hand wasn't good enough for Thomas Chambers, who held . (in no particular order).
Ashton's elimination in 10th place leaves us with just nine players remaining.

We arrived at the action on fifth street, with Matthew Ashton leading out. Thomas Chambers then made it an extra bet and Chris Bjorin cold called. Ashton then raised it up again and both his opponents called. On sixth street, Ashton checked and Chambers bet. Bjorin then raised it up and Ashton tank-called. Chambers called and seventh was dealt.
On seventh street, Chambers led and Bjorin called. Ashton then tank for a long time. He only had around 15,000 behind and had already committed so much to the hand. Eventually he opted to fold. Chambers turned over for a seventy-six low, while Bjorin held for three nines. The pot was split up between Bjorin and Chambers, while Ashton was left crippled. He did seem happy that he made the fold though.
