Players are taking a brief break
Following the double elimination, the tournament is taking a brief break while chips are counted and the television crew resets.
6th Place: Maria Ho ($179,930)
Maria Ho has been eliminated in 6th place when her [Ah][Kh] ran into Adam Geyer's pocket aces. Maria was drawing dead on the turn, and she will collect $179,930 for her efforts.

Adam Geyer showed pocket aces and Maria mucked, knocking her stack down to under 2 million. She is now currently in 5th chip position.

7th Place: Anthony Gregg ($138,720)
Anthony Gregg was all in holding pocket kings and was up against [Ah][4h]. The flop was safe for Anthony, and it looked like he would double up. The turn was a brick, and a fan on the rail yelled, "Ace on the river." This turned out to be the case as the [As] hit the river, eliminating Anthony in 7th place. He will collect $138,720 for his efforts.
The final six players are now bagging up their chips for the night, and official chip counts will be posted shortly. Play will continue at 4pm PST.
