[B]Wed Jul 05 00:47:00 PDT 2006[/B] [B]Players Back From Break[/B] The 71 players remaining have resumed action. Once they get down to 65 players they'll begin round-for-round until they reach the money at 63 players. [B]Wed Jul 05 01:14:00 PDT 2006[/B] [B]Marcel Luske Bursts Bubble[/B] Marcel Luske ($28,000) and John Roveto ($10,000) are all-in before the flop. It's a race as Luske shows 4[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/diamond.gif[/IMG]4[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/spade.gif[/IMG], and Roveto flips A[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/heart.gif[/IMG]K[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/heart.gif[/IMG]. The flop brings more intrigue, as the Q[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/club.gif[/IMG]9[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/heart.gif[/IMG]8[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/heart.gif[/IMG] hits, giving Roveto a flush draw. The 4[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/club.gif[/IMG] on the turn takes away eight outs for Roveto, and he'll now need a heart that isn't a Queen or a four to survive. The turn is red, but it's a diamond (9[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/diamond.gif[/IMG]) and not a heart, and Roveto heads to the rail, hoping someone else busts this round, so he'll share the money for coming in 63rd place. If no one else gets eliminated during this round, Roveto will not receive any money. Luske has $40,000. [B]Wed Jul 05 01:16:00 PDT 2006[/B] [B]Bellande, Hellmuth Continue to Duel[/B] Phil Hellmuth raises to $8,000 from the cut-off and both Jean-Robert Bellande(on the button) and the big blind call.

The turn brings the 6[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/diamond.gif[/IMG] and Hellmuth bets $9,000. Bellande looks at his cards and makes the call. The big blind gets out of the hand as we go to the river. The river is the 8[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/diamond.gif[/IMG] and Hellmuth bets $15,000. Bellande calls and Hellmuth shows 8[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/spade.gif[/IMG]5[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/club.gif[/IMG] for the straight. Bellande mucks his cards and now is at $70,000 in chips after the monster pot. Hellmuth has now made his presence felt in this tournament as he sits at $131,000 in chips. [B]Wed Jul 05 01:37:00 PDT 2006[/B] [B]Three More Eliminations[/B] In the final round of play, three more players have busted, which means that four players, including John Roveto (64th) will split the prize money attributed to four spots. The players are Eric Ford (63rd), Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi (62nd), and Brian Lesser (61st). "The Grinder" went broke when his A-Q failed to improve against his opponent's J-J.
