The remaining players get one more 15 minute break before coming back to play the last level of the day.  The blinds will be 800 / 1,600 with a 200 chip ante.  After the completion of that level play will be paused for the night and everyone with chips will return tomorrow at 3pm for another day of play.

Among those that won’t be returning: Matt “mcmatto” Affleck (right), Marco “CrazyMarco” Johnson and Justin “Boosted J” Smith.  Affleck faded elimination one time when he was all in with pocket tens against pocket aces.  The flop came 987 and with the T in his hand Affleck had the open ended straight flush draw and the other player did not hold the A so any flush or straight would have worked.  Instead the T spiked on the turn giving Matt a set and a lead in the hand but the J river put a straight on the board and the pot was chopped, leaving Matt back around the 20k chips he started the hand with.  He was eliminated not too long later.

With over 200k going into the last level Bryan “badbeatninja” Devonshire is in good shape and after picking up a pot late in the last level James “mig.com” Mackey is also looking solid.  Mackey had opened for 3k and was raised to 8k.  He called and the flop came J85.  Both players checked and with the 9 turn Mackey bet 13k and was raised to a total of 27k.  He called the 14k more and the action went check check on the 3 river.  Mackey showed the 98 for two pair and picked up the pot.  Carter “ckingusc” King also picked up a pot late in the level, adding to his stack when his pocket jacks were good against pocket nines on a 7-7-3 flop.
