Rylen Sanehisa flops quads

Rylen Sanehisa was all in preflop holding AQQ4 against his opponents AA48.  Sanehisa needed help, and he got as much help as he could handle when the flop came QQJ, leaving his opponent drawing dead.  Sanehisa now sits on 39k.

Double knockout gets players into the money

On literally the first hand hand back from break, a hand developed on the outer table that resulted in two players getting knocked out.  The clock is now paused as the tournament staff redraws the field for the final table.  All remaining players are in the money and are guaranteed at least $820, with $9,560 going to first place.

Final 11 players return from break

The field has been trimmed to 11 players, and they have just returned from break.  As soon as one more player busts out, the field will combine to a final table.  However, only 9 spots pay, so one more will need to bust out before the players are in the money.  Players are now playing 2k/4k blinds, 4k/8k limits.
