To nobody’s surprise, players are falling quickly in today’s $2,500 No Limit Hold’em Six-handed event. Almost 800 of the original 1,012 have been eliminated — including several notables in the last level. Jamie “pokerjamers” Armstrong, Adam “csimmssux” Geyer, Kevin “BeL0WaB0Ve” Saul and Dan “Wretchy” Martin have all been seen on the rail. Martin (pictured right), who at one time was among the chip leaders at 40K, lost two massive pots in which he failed to hit straight flush draws against pocket kings and aces.

Dozens of familiar faces are still hanging in, however. Shannon Shorr just doubled his stack when he got 11K in preflop with TT and flopped to a set to beat AK. Andy “BKiCE” Seth picked up a big pot as well, making a tough call on the river with AK on a board of A97JT to pick off a bluff. Seth is up to 25K.

We managed to find many more P5ers still healthy in the event. With the blinds at 200/400/50 ante and the average stack at 21K, here are some unofficial chip counts:

Steve “gboro780″ Gross - 30K
Brent “bhanks11″ Hanks -26K
Jordan “iMsoLucky0″ Morgan - 22K
Hevad “Rain” Khan - 21K
Ben “bfineman” Fineman - 19K
Jon “FatalError” Aguiar - 19K
Jordan “Octavian_C” Rich - 14K
David “DavidP18″ Peters - 14K
Aditya “intervention” Agarwal - 13K
Eric “basebaldy” Baldwin - 13K
Zach “CrazyZachary” Clark - 12K
Taylor “tdomeski” Douglas - 10.5K
Josh “pbdrunks” VanDuyn - 8K
Chad “lilholdem954″ Batista - 8K
