And
Kirill Gerasimov
finishes in
9th
place, winning
$35,532
It was one of those QQ vs AK races which Tommy Smith (owner of the Queens) ended up winning. One of the shorter stacks, Kirill was probably looking for a double up and that kind of match-up will generate one, or knock you out.

Tommy Smith
is eliminated in
8th
place, winning
$53,298
His eliminator is now comfortable chip leader Alan Sass, whom I reckon has just broken the 1 million mark.
Meanwhile, Stuart Fox has under 160k...

And the action continues apace (that is a word, right?) - Emad Tamtouh narrowly avoids elimination thusly:
He moves in for his short stack (under 60k), finding neighbour Greg Turk moving in over the top. He can't have been overjoyed when he saw the
which was up against his
.
Flop:
Turn:
(he's halfway out the door)
River:
(he's back in his seat).
Up to 100k+ but blinds are 6k/12k with a 1k ante, so not comfy yet.

Oh, clever me - I tracked down Foxy outside in the 110 degree heat to wish him luck from you all, and get the inside information on the final. Which is, in total -
Stuart has 140,000 and is second lowest in chips
Chip leader Mr. Sass "has won every hand he's played"
He didn't think he'd make the final so there have been 3 hotel changes
Er... that's all we had time for, folks. And this photo op:

Wow - huge flurry of post-break action. Shortest stack
Emad Tahtouh
finishes in
7th
, winning
$71,064
Which I missed, although it was Michael Tedesco counting his chips...
Then Greg Turk raised preflop, and found a re-raise of 62k following him from Jason Lester. It was his tournament on the line here, so not surprising that he had a good ponder before calling all-in. He showed
, against Lester's
.
Flop:
Turn:
River:
And the mid pair held to knock out the second player in quick succession:
Greg Turk
in
6th
, winning
$88,830

Hot on his heels, Tony Hartmann gets it all in against leader Alan Sass, with
against Alan's
. But you can never breathe that sigh of relief until after the river, and this board proves it:
Flop:
(oh big shout from the Alan supporters - or just those who like to see spiking)
Turn:
River:
(bigger shout from the post-flop underdog supporters)

Well, I can tell you that Stuart's taken down some blinds with a button raise (8k/16k now so not peanuts)....
But the most action-y hand of recent moments involved Tony Hartmann and Michael Tedesco - Michael raised from the cutoff, and found small blind Tony re-raising. At first it was announced as 150,000, but then the old constraints of pot limit stepped in, and it was decided that the max raise was actually 136k. In any case, it was round to Stuart (sitting in the middle) who took off his sunglasses and gave it a good old dwell - going to ask him about it next break - but after he passed Michael Tedesco decided to flat call the 96k it was to him.
Flop:
And as you may expect, Tony moved in for his remaining 198k, while Michael, with any moves taken from him and presumably having missed the flop with overcards anyway, folded pretty quickly.

Foxy gives big blind Alan Sass a walk, showing
, but then pinches the blinds from the button next hand.
The following hand button Tony Hartmann 'pinches' from the button too, but when the blinds fold he shows them

We're down to just four players here on the final table of the $5k PLHE...after Stuart Fox eliminates
Michael Tedesco
in
5th
, for
$106,596
The Fox got a bit of good fortune when he decided to call Michael's push all-in from the big blind (he was on the button) with A8. He'd raised, as he tends to, on the button, and must not have given much credit to Michael's move. He was actually up against AQ, but with an eight on the raggy flop, and no help emerging, he knocks out Tedesco and at the same time increases his stack to a size worth being wary of.

The last hand before the current **************BREAK*************** it all suddenly got very serious - Tony Hartmann raised, Alan Sass re-raised to 144k, then, in position, and after a very lengthy think (well, it IS the WSOP for a change) Tony re-raised another 294k, committing his remaining 50k or so for an all-in on the flop. An equally matched long dwell from Alan, and then........call.
Flop:
And first to act Alan bets 42k to put Tony all in; call
Alan shows:
Tony shows:
Turn:
River:
And a tension bubble bursts as a big cheer goes up for Alan Sass and
Tony Hartmann
finishes in
4th
place, winning
$124,362

Roller-coaster for Foxy now -
First of all from the button Stuart makes it 47k to go, Jason Lester re-raises to 105, and it's a short hop to all in (for Jason), Stuart happy to call with
. Jason shows the perhaps slightly surprising
...
Flop:
Turn:
River:
And Lester doubles through off Foxy to around 460,000, leaving his opponent very short (less than 100k)

Two hands later (Stuart gets a walk in the middle because Alan Sass is sitting out a 10 minute penalty (!) - wish I'd seen why)
Foxy moves in when Jason Lester raises on the button - he's too short for Lester to pass and shows
to Lester's
.
Flop:
looking good for Stuart
Turn:
looking potentially disappointing for Stuart
Ruver:
giving him a kicker advantage and a desperately needed double up.
