The field decided to take a 15-minute break at the end of hour two so the hour three update will come in at 6:15. Players Remaining: 30 out of 128 Starting Stacks: 300,000 broken up into three chances — meaning that the players started with 100,000 and had 200,000 additional on the side that they could add on at anytime before a hand. If their additional chips were not in play when a hand begins, those chips couldn’t be used to wager with.

The two have been jousting early and often and that hasn’t gone so well for Lykov, who is currently out of rebuy chips.

Lykov then reraised all in and Marafioti made the call to cover him. Their cards: Lykov: 4 Board: 7 Marafioti won the seesaw hand thanks to the king on the turn and Lykov was forced to reload after the hand.

Level 7 Update: Last Level of the NightJan 11, '10 Blinds: 400-800 with a 100 ante Notable Eliminations: John Duthie Big Hands: New Chip Leader Dmitry Stelmak is now stacked with a more than healthy 240,000 in chips. The bulk of the damage was done in two hands. On the first, he made a bigger full house than Justin “boostedJ” Smith to get started. A few hands later, he eliminated John Duthie when he made aces up with A-6.
Chad Brown and Mike Matusow somehow found themselves in a preflop raising war. When it ended, Brown was all in holding A The board fell 9 Alexandre Gomes Hits the Rail Team PokerStars Pro Alexandre Gomes is now out of the tournament thanks to a surging Kevin Saul. Gomes held pocket sevens and was willing to risk the rest of his stack with them, but Saul’s pocket aces could not be denied, making a full house to send the Brazilian packing. Left In The Deck: Unofficial Field Count and Prizes As has been the case with many of the tournaments at this year’s PCA, the official field sizes, prize pools and payouts must first be confirmed by PokerStars before they are released to the players and media. Due to the late hour, that will have to be taken care of tomorrow morning. But we have received word, unofficially, that there were 84 players in this year’s field. A whopping 16 of them will make the money, with first place receiving somewhere in the neighborhood of $575,000. Min-cashers will make about $40,000 for their efforts. Matt Marafioti Shows Up Registration has been closed for some time now, but half way through the final level of the evening, Matt Marafioti had not shown up. It turns out that Marafioti was just a few feet away, playing at the final two tables of the $5,000 no-limit hold’em event. After busting in 10th place, Marafioti raced over to the High Roller section and sat down with 36,000 of his original 50,000 in chips.
