8:36pm--Just moments ago, Greg "Fossilman" took a $400K hit. He and his opponent checked a 753 flop. Fossilman check-raised the turn, a king. The opponent called. The river was a six. Greg called a big bet and his opponent showed 89. The six filled in the gutshot. Raymer now sits just above the average stack.

8:56pm--Fossilman just rebounded in a very big way. Greg made a full house (sixes full of jacks) on a Q6J/4/J board. One can only guess Greg's opponent had a jack, because he called a $250,000 bet on the river. Raymer now has pushed his way back to more than $1.3 million.

9pm--Steven Marx just took a half million pot after busting out a fellow PokerStars qualifier. Stephen bet $35,000 pre-flop on his pocket Queens. Jim Olson, with eights, called. The flop didn't help anyone. Steven bets $50,000 and Jim, from Fair Oaks, California, went all in. Nothing on the turn and the river brings Steven an extra Queen - just for good measure. Jim went home in 91st position. It made him $77,100 richer but meant he just missed the $91,950 given to the man who went out next.

9:08pm--Jon Lane, with top pair (queens) just went bust to Mike Matusow who made a se of fours. The online star is on his way to pick up his real winnings, $91,950.

9:22pm--Brad Kondracki, sitting at the featured table, just doubled up. He got all his money the flop. He had middle pair with a flush draw. His opponent had a higher flush draw. The flush never came and Kondracki's middle pair was good. He now has about $1.2 million

9:34pm--Players are on a 30 minute break.

9:39pm--Radu "rbutan" Butan is in juliant mood. It's only a few hours until his birthday, he's already assured of taking home $100,000 plus and he's just taken out Can Kim Hua. He said: "I had Kings, he had A9. I went all in for $300,000. I ended up with a set of Kings on the river."

9:41pm--Software engineer Stephen Marx is also exhuberant. He has more than $1.5 million. He said: "It's been a grind but just picked up a nice hand from Mike Matusow. He put in $475,000, I raised $300,000 and he folded."

9:57pm--Steve Marx is part of the table that has been moved under the TV lights. He's in the one seat. Mike Matusow, who recently dedicated $400K of his stack to the Marx cause, sits in the nine seat.

10:08pm--We've just crossed the six-digit payout mark. Everybody out from here on out will get more than $100K. Eighty players remain.

10:12pm--Shane Batholomew has been eliminated. All-in pre-flop with JJ vs. K9, the flop came down 669. Shane had to avoid a king or nine. The turn was an eight, but the river was a king. His opponent and his railbirds exploded. Bartholomew walked away in disgust.

10:37pmPlay has slowed down a bit. Raymer is accumulating chips by picking up small pots here and there. Sventy-eight players remain in this contest.

10:42pm--Jarl Lindholt just layed down jacks, pre flop, after a big re-raise from the player two seats to his left. "That's the first hand I've seen in two hours," Jarl says. His opponent shows queens.

11:03pm--Steve Marx just doubled up an opponent. Marx held KQ on a KJ3 flop. He and his opponent got their money in. Marx found himself up against aces and couldn't find a king or queen on the turn or river. Seventy-seven players remain. In other news, Radu Butan, sitting on $800K in chips, says Phil Ivey is bullying his table. FPP qualifier Jarl Lindholt is now down to $220,000. He got involved in the big blind, calling a button raise, and then bet $100K looking at a 5c-7c-8d board. Original raiser moves in, Jarl passes.

11;13pm--Raymi Sanchez Thorn just had to lay down a hand pre-flop when an opponent moved in for about $300,000. Raymi probably lost the minimum, round about $100,000, and still has a stack too big to count accurately.

11:21pm--The impassive Larry Prugh just took a neat pot off Phil Ivey after re-raising Ivey's $30,000 raise. Ivey folded.

11:26pm--Another great pot for Larry Prugh . Larry, with KJo, limped in for $12,000. The guy in seat nine made it $60,000. Larry smooth called. The flop came down K-J-6 giving Larry pair of Kings. The raiser bet out $50,000 and our man called. The turn card was an Ace. Larry's opponent checked and Larry made it $80,000 to go. The opponent. flashed AQ. Larry, out of courtesy, showed his KJ. Seventy-four players remain.

11:59pm--Jake Minter just handed the remainder of his stack to Neverwin. Neverwin had a set of fives, Minter only had a gutshot draw. Neverwin ended up making a full house on the river and sending Minter to the rail, more than $100,000 richer. In other news, Jarl Lindholt is on the ropes. With the blinds at $6K/$12K with a $2K ante, Lindholt sits at $90K

12:06am--As the 20-minute break began, the word spread quickly. Greg Raymer was all-in. The action was elusive, but as we converged, the board showed AJ8 with two spades. Tex Barch had $120K bet in front of him and Raymer had announced he was all in. Tex labored over his move for five full minutes before mucking his hand.

12:16am--Bob Larsen's been having an up-and-down day. The 24-year-old from the Milwaukee area started with $800,000, went up to $1.2 million, down to $900,000 - and then just went down to $400,000 after a horrible hand where his Aces lost out to QK.

12:26am--I stood and listened as Greg Raymer and Tex Barch discussed the hand that took place just before the break. Poker players lie, so I don't know whether to believe any of this. Raymer claims he was holding the same hand he won last year's WSOP with: 88. That would've given him a set of eights. Barch claims to have had AJ for two pair. We report, you decide who is lying.

12:29am--Bob Larsen, as mentioned above, was short-stacked. On a flop containing two diamonds, Larsen got all his chip in the middle with a J8 of diamonds. He gets called by AT of diamonds, and has to draw to a non-diamond J or 8, neither of which came. Larsen placed 72nd and takes home more than $100,000.

12:32am--Radu just took a $170,000 pot off Phil Ivey. With $92,000 already in the pot, the flop came down A-3-4. Phil raised $80,000, Radu went all-in, Phil folded.

12:55am Not a lot of action from our players right now. We're keeping tabs on them. Looks like there are 63 total players remaining in the tournament.

1:01am-- A crushing beat for Larry Prugh. All-in pre-flop with KK, Prugh sees his opponent has AK. The flop was fine, but the turn was an ace, and the river was not a king. Prugh is left with just $250K.

1:01am-- Daniel Bergdorf just doubled through after not playing a hand since Reagan was president. Sixty-two players remain.

1:11am--Raymi Hernandez thorn has now transferred to the feature table and knocks a player out on the first hand since the move. His sixes make a set on the flop against the all-in player's A-K. Thorn has a bunch of chips.

1:15am--Fossilman has been cut in half after his KQ was outkicked by AQ. Raymer has somewhere near $700K now.

1:24am--Play has ended for the evening. Full chip counts and such will be out when the official count is in.
