Registration remains open for this level and up until the start of the next one, but we have already lost pretty much half the field with 396 out of 874 entries remaining according to the screens. When will the huge wave of eliminations finally slow down?
It is obviously no coincidence either, that as a result the tables in the Bronze section are all empty by now as well.
Bernard Lee was down to his last 1,300 and moved all in against a limp from early position. His opponent called with and it was a flip versus Lee's . Lee nailed the flop and stayed ahead after the turn and river to stay in the tournament.

Dave Feldman moved all in over the top of an open, and having got a count of 1,400 his opponent made the call.
Feldman turned over the and visibly winced as his saw he was up against , clearly not fancying his chances.
The flop saw Feldman shake his head but the turn and river were safe enough and he doubled up.
“Top set and still a sweat,” one player commented. “You have no idea how bad my record is with kings,” Feldman replied.
Feldman told PokerNews he felt the queen coming on the river, but since it didn’t come he remained one of the last of the Bally Technology employees in the event. Asked if they had a last longer bet, he shook his head and remarked that he wished they did now.
