The number of players in the room continues to drop, down to under 130 at last count. Amit “Amak316″ Makhija (left) was able to send one player home. Amit had opened for 3,200 and the other player raised to 11,600. Makhija asked how much he had behind and then put out enough to cover the other players raise and the 32,100 he had behind.

After a few minutes of thought the player called off the rest of his chips. “I don’t have a huge hand, just nines” Amit said. The nines were plenty big enough though, up against the pocket sevens of the other player. The bigger pair held up on the Q65JJ board and Amit added to his stack while reducing the number of remaining players.

Allen Kessler moved in over the top of an opening raise of 2,900 from Jonathan “FatalError” Aguiar for 11,700 more and after debating the call and figuring out his odds Aguiar decided to fold, leaving himself short stacked but still with a little room to maneuver.

Recent eliminations include Devin “TranquilChaos” Porter, Louis “MrBeeks” Werman, Alvin “alsmooth” Zeidenfeld, Jon “pokertrip” Friedberg and Bryan Devonshire.
