The five remaining players at today’s $1,500 Mixed Hold’em event final table have just returned from a 20-minute break and the the race to catch Nick Binger begins. Binger has over 1.3 million chips –  more than half of the chips in play – and has single-handedly eliminated every player so far at the final table. Meanwhile, Jonathan “driverseati” Tamayo sits patiently with 316K, good for second most at the table while the other three players hover around 200K.

Eric “Rizen” Lynch (13K), Shannon Shorr (8K), Chris “SKOAL” Falconer (7.7K) and Garrett “GBecks” Beckman (6.5K) are some of the notables still in today’s $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo event. Almost 400 of the original 720 players have been eliminated, including bracelet winner Scott “BigRiskky” Clements (pictured left), who got all of his chips in preflop with KK32 and lost to a player’s aces just before the tournament went on a 20-minute break.
