Sitting at Matt Berkey's table, Mike Holm had something to say: "Mike Holm, I'm still here. That's all you gotta put." Remember those Holm's battles with Justin Bonomo from earlier today? Well, Holm outlasted the high roller. "It's a miracle," Holm said about his run.
Holm is indeed still in the tournament, despite an unlucky hand that occurred right after his speech.
Holm opened to 15,000 and Toby Lewis shipped in his remaining 26,000 from the big blind. Holm called.
Mike Holm:
Toby Lewis:

Layne Flack is visibly enjoying his time at a poker table he shares with Demosthenes Kiriopoulos (to whom he refers as "DK"), Matt Stout, Daniel Weinman, Ilkin Amirov and Jeremy Joseph.
There are a lot of talks during hands and between, and Flack is the leading voice of the chat. He's proposing interesting questions.
"What would you do, if someone said they'll pay you for playing poker but you wouldn't get any of your winnings. What would be your hourly price?"
Flack followed it with an example. "Let's say you'd get $200 per hour. It's like $70,000 for the World Series. Would you accept that?"
More to the talks, he turned it the other way around: "And would you be willing to pay me those $70,000 if I asked?"
Daniel Weinman seemed to be fascinated about the proposal, thinking about poker from this perspective.
"I have another one, you'll like this one," Flack changed the subject. "If you were forbidden to say winning, what would you say is the best thing about playing poker?"
Meanwhile, he still has a shot at winning this tournament, sitting on more than 500,000. There are 40 players left, and a top-five finish would secure Flack larger paycheck than those suggested $70,000 for the whole WSOP.
