12:20 p.m. First bust happened within 5 min. of the start. Andrew Gunderson having Q J, moved all-in with 325,000 and was busted by Jeff Bryan who had A Q.

12:47 p.m. Jimmy Blevins, Brian Tracey and Travis Belles have busted out of the Main Event.

1:52 p.m. Chad Brown was gone to the sidelines after his Kh 7h was overcome by the pocket 8's of another player. Dario Minieri joined him when his all-in move with 1.1 million using Qs 7s was punished by the set of 3's of Reagen Silber. Cory Carroll and Issac Haxton are also gone. Gus Hansen has been crippled to 410,000 chips. Top dogs right now are Avi Cohen with 4,700,000 chips, Dag Martin Mikkelsen with 4,200,000 who is busting players left and right, Philip Hilm with 3,300,000, Scotty Nugyen 2,400,000 and Alex Kravchenko 2,274,000.

2:20 p.m. Fewer big names are at the tables, but are still making their prescence felt such as John Spadavecchia with 1,428,000 chips, Julian Gardner 1,500,000, Lee Watkinson 1,700,000, Daniel Alaei 1,850,000, Huck Seed, 1,950,000, Humberto Brenes 1,000,000, Bill Elder 1,100,000 and Dennis Perry 400,000.

3:25 p.m. Lee Watkinson has busted both Jeff Weiss and Jared Hamby. We are at 98 players at the tables.

4:15 p.m. Humberto Brenes and his shark toy are no longer in the Main Event. What happened is that his A K suited ran into the pocket Aces of Hevad Khan.

5:02 p.m. Francois Safieddine, Thierry Van Den Burg and Mark Ellerbe are no longer in the Main Event. There are now 80 players left at the tables. Heavyweights in the field are Dag Martin Mikkelsen with 4,800,000 chips, Lee Watkinson 4,600,000, Scotty Nguyen 3,900,000, Hevad Khan 3,300,000 and Alex Kravchenko 2,260,000. Still in the game are Maria Ho (the only woman left in the Main Event), Mickey Segal, Dennis Perry, Gus Hansen, Ayaz Mahmood and Matt Keikoan.

5:40 p.m. The field's number count has reached 77 players. Huck Seed, the 1996 Main Event Champion, was one of those casualties.

6:43 p.m. Gus Hansen is fighting to get back up the ladder with 900,000 chips. Recent bracelet dreams were ended for Brandon Adams in 69th place, Dennis Perry in 68th, Ryan Lawrence in 67th and Diego Cordovez in 66th. All will receive $130,288 for their hard fought efforts.

7:30 p.m. Dinner break will be until 9:00 p.m. PDT. Just before the break, Gus Hansen was sent to the rail in 61st place and John Spadavecchia finished 60th.

9:02 p.m. Dinner break is finished. The top 5 players with chip counts are Dag Martin Mikkelsen with 5,700,000 chips, Lee Watkinson 5,100,000, Jerry Yang 4,600,000, Scott Freeman 4,170,000 and Tom Peterson 4,025,000. Others at the table are Scotty Nguyen 3,600,000 chips, Bill Elder 1,560,000, Rep Porter 1,500,000, Maria Ho 1,250,000 and Avi Cohen who has dropped to 635,000. Earlier in the day Cohen was as high as 4,700,000 in chips.

9:07 p.m. We have just learned that play will continue for two more levels and can stop at 27 players. But if there are still more than 36 players at the end of two levels, play will continue until 36 remain. Play is now at level 23 where blinds are $20000/$40000 with a $5000 ante.

10:04 p.m. Avi Cohen has turned his situation around bringing his chips up to 2,275,000 after winning against Ayaz Mahmood beating his set of Jacks with a Ace high flush. Rep Porter just doubled up against Lee Watkinson, bringing his stack up to 3,500,000. Rep hit a flush on the turn, beating the set of 6's Lee received on the flop. David Tran with pocket 6's held up against the A K of Dag Martin Mikkelsen to double up his chips to 3,290,000. Mikkelsen dropped to 4,100,000.

11:02 p.m. Avi Cohen is up to 5,000,000 now. He attributed his recent success to having pocket K's three times in a row! Average chip count is 2,500,000 with 50 players left. And there are 3 players over 6 million in chips.

11:48 p.m. Ladies and gentlemen, the price of poker just went up to level 24 having blinds of $25000/$50000 with a $5000 ante. Top dogs in the field are Ray Henson at 8,500,000 chips, Scott Freeman at 6,510,000, Lee Childs at 6,505,000, Philip Hilm 5,300,000 and Jerry Yang 5,200,000 rounding out the leading 5. Short stacked are Maria Ho 700,000, John Armbrust 290,000 and Nicholas Atlan 670,000.

1:11 a.m. Sunday July 15 Big upsets since midnight passed. For one, Avi Cohen is out of the Main Event after his all-in with A 8 met up with the A K of Hevad Khan who paired his King card on the river. Also Dag Martin Mikkelsen is also in the busted category. Dag had lost a lot of chips in a few hands, when he goes all-in preflop with A K. He was called by David Tran who had pocket A's, winning the hand and sending Dag to the cashier for his money. Tran is now up to 8,400,000. Chip leader is Philip Hilm with 9,000,000 now in his stack.

2:07 a.m. The game is upped to level 29 with blinds at $30000/$60000 with a $10000 ante. Add to the list of non-contenders Maria Ho, Rep Porter, Philip Yeh and Jeff Banghart. We have one more to go before things are shut down for the night. Just FYI, in a horrible display of disrespect, when Maria Ho was eliminated the spectators for the winner were extremely drunk and were high fiving the winner so close to the table Maria could not even get up. Hopefully bad conduct scenes like this will be addressed by the WSOP so that they do not reoccur. And if you read this Maria, congratulations you did well.

2:16 a.m. Ayaz Mahmood went out in 37th place and play ends for the night.
