Live video running WITH TABLE AUDIO!
Pardon our excitement, but we were finally able to wire up the featured table with a microphone so you can hear what the players are talking about. This makes the live feed much more interesting to watch, in our opinion. Keep on eye on Will Fahmy in the 3 seat as he likes to talk a lot during play. To view the feed, click on "Watch LIVE Video" on the top of the page.
There are 23 players remaining and they are now playing 500/1000 blinds.

Houston Williams: current chip leader
We did a quick scan of the room to see if we could find our chip leader. It wasn't hard, considering he was the only player with 1,000 chips in front of him, and 50 of them at that. We estimate his stack to be at around 65,000, which appears to be a comfortable margin over 2nd place. We introduce you to Houston Williams:
Final 27 players now redrawing for seats
We have just lost a player to bring us to 27 players remaining. Matt Savage and the tournament staff are now redrawing seats for the remaining players, which means you'll have some new faces to watch on the live video stream. We still have to lose 9 more players before we are in the money.
There's one minute remaining in level 8, which is 300/600 blinds. The next level is 400/800 blinds.
