Aaron Bartley hits the dreaded bubble spot in 'ouch, one in the testicles' moment.

A-J off versus A-J suited

MB makes his flush.

So, we're down to 9, two of which are Joe Hachem and John Gayle.

There seems to be a bit of confusion as to whether they're going to play this final today or tomorrow. It was planned as a 2 day Event, but it looks like they're gonna bag em and come back tomorrow.

Here are some belated photos of the very end of the No Limit ex-TV final table, after Padraig's elimination - it was not the seven hour marathon of the HORSE heads up,  but while all the attention veered somewhat towards the last 10 in the $2,500 PL, Mats Rahmn took the bracelet and $655,141, while Richard Toth took the $333,721 for second.

any news on pab? he still not bk at hotel which is good sign!!

Yep - still in!  In the money, sat next to Joe Beevers (still) with 32,400.

He also, unfortunately, has one of the chip leaders on his table, who has truly gravity-defying towers of chips reaching up to his chin like an unassailable wall...

It looks like Hellmuth's out though.

OK - play in the $5,000 6-H has finished for the night, and unbelievably it's only 1am!  Early one here....

Anyway, they're Bagging and Tagging, but I managed to catch Joe Beevers who's made it into the final 36, but with only 23,900.  He pointed out that "Mad Marty's got all the chips in the room..." and sure enough, at least 120k was piled in front of him.  He's been sat with his back to the rail, and to be honest I thought he was out ages ago - apologies for quietness on the Marty front!  He's way out in front...
