Shortly before the most recent 20 minute break Blake “BallaB13″ Cahail (pictured at left) picked up a big pot when he eliminated another player.  The other player bet the flop of KQ6 and Blake made the call.  When the Q came on the turn, the other player moved all-in for the remainder of his stack and Cahail quickly made the call with KK.  The other player held AK and the meaningless 3 on the river meant Cahail’s stack built back up to 350k.

After players returned from their most recent twenty minute break, several players made ascents up the chip counts while others, like David “DavidP18″ Peters, headed for the door.  A short stacked Jose “head2782″ Severino moved all-in from the cut off and the player on the button quickly moved all-in behind him.  The players in the blinds folded and the two players turned up their hands.  Jose showed KQ while his opponent held AK.  The other player made a flush as the board came J8392 and Severino was eliminated.

Ibuki “bukithepro” Fukui was eliminated by Marco “CrazyMarco” Johnson when Johnson raised in late position and Fukui reraised all-in for a little over 100K total.  Marco made the call with pocket jacks, which held against Fukui’s A-10.  After the hand Marco had 340K.

Here are our most recent chip counts:
Eric “jakz101″ Crain - 440K
Darren “DABADESTCHIC” Nelson - 365K
Adam “akat11″ Katz - 295K
Dan “Wretchy” Martin - 220K

The $50K HORSE is down to its final 13 players and after beginning the day at the top of the leaderbaord, both Barry Greenstein and Daniel Negreanu are now two of the shorter stacks remaining in play.  Currently, Huck Seed is the chip leader with 5 more players to lose before play concludes for the night.

Finally, here are some notable chip counts in the 1.5k NL WSOP Event #49 with the blinds at 400-800-100 with 350 left and the average stack at 23k:
