Kevin O'Donnell limps and David Halpern calls in the small blind.  Scott Fischman checks in the big blind and the flop comes J53.  Halpern and Fischman check and O'Donnell bets $2,000.  Halpern folds and Fischman raises to almost put himself all-in (as much as the pot will allow), leaving himself just over $1,000.  O'Donnell makes the extra bet to put him all-in and Fischman calls.  Fischman shows QQQ3 and O'Donnell flips up A532 for two pair and the lead.  The turn puts the 6 on the board and the river brings the 9 and is no help to Fischman, who is eliminated on the bubble.  The remaining 18 players are in the money and will return to play tomorrow at 4 pm PDT.

Greg Worker and Scott Fischman are currently battling it out to avoid being the dreaded "bubble boy."  Worker currently has $6,500 in chips and Fischman has taken a few beats to drop to $10,000.

Players are back from break and awaiting the elimination of the last player before they end for the night in the money.

Players are on a 15 minute break.

Players are now playing round for round until one player is eliminated on the bubble.

On a flop of K105, Thomas Wahlroos bets $22,000. After what seemed liked several minutes of deliberation, Chau giang re-raises another $24,100, forcing Wahlroos to make a decision for all of his chips. Wahlroos calls the all-in, and flips over 7552 for a set of 5's. Giang shows J10107 for a set of 10's. The turn and river bring the J and the A, no help to either player. Giang now has $145,000 after this hand. As Wahlroos ships the rest of his chips to Giang, Wahlroos says, "At least I get to sleep off my hangover tomorrow". Giang replies, "Don't you know who I am? Pot-Limit Omaha! I'll send you home." 

Ed Jordan raises all-in on a board of Q108K and Dan Harmetz makes the call.  Harmetz shows AJ72 for the straight to the Queen.  Jordan shows 1010K3 for a set of Tens.  The board doesn't pair when the 7 hits the river, and Jordan is eliminated near the bubble.

From 2nd position Jani Vilmunen ($57,000) calls the big blind.  The player from the cut-off position calls as does the small blind.  From the big blind, Sherkhan Farnood ($47,000) bets the pot ($2,400).  Vilmunen makes the call.  The flop comes Q109.  Farnood checks and Vilmunen bets the pot ($6,200).  Farnood raises the pot ($28,200).  Vilmunen thinks for awhile.  After around three minutes, Farnood starts talking to the rest of the table and asks if it would be rude to call the clock on a fellow European.  After around 10 minutes, Farnood apologizes to Vilmunen but calls the clock.  He tells Vilmunen he will be all-in the next card no matter what.  Vilmunen makes the call.  The 3 hits and Farnood goes all-in for around $25,000 more.  Vilmunen calls instantly.  Sherkhan shows the KJ for the nuts straight.  Vilmunen is visibly upset as he shows a straight but a lesser one (J8).  Vilmunen calls for a spade as he also has the 10.  But the 2 falls on the river and Farnood rakes in a monster pot.  Farnood has $113,000 while Vilmunen is down to $6,100.
