They're breaking table 15 now, which means 140 players remain out of 343 entrants. Only the last 36 will get paid, so there's still a long way to go.
Gordon Eng is still in the field and he's looking for the hat-trick today. He won two No Limit events at the US Poker Chamionships in November.
Another player in today's field enjoying recent success is Adam 'Lippy' Lippert. He won a No Limit event at the Southern Poker Championships earlier this month.
Table 5 has got to be one of the toughest I have seen in a long time. Sharing that piece of felt are Giuseppe Pantaleo in the 5 seat, with Ian Palomo, Eric Siegel, and Keith Crowder in the 8, 9, and 10 seats.

Just before the break, Giuseppe and Eric got tangled up in a pot. Giuseppe opened for 1,700 (which he was doing a lot) and Eric came over the top to the tune of 4,900. The button called, then Giuseppe shoved, having both opponents covered. Eric called all-in and the button opted out.
Giuseppe's KJ was in bad shape against Eric's pocket Aces, but he picked up a Broadway draw when the flop came A Q x. It was all over on the turn, however, when another Queen fell, giving Eric Aces-full. Eric doubled up to ~80k and Giuseppe was left with only ~20k.
