"MarsRover" was the first to drop after their pocket tens couldn't win the race against "jeebs" suited ace-queen.
The next person to drop was "odo23" in level 27, followed by "GiantGenius" in level 28.
The next level saw three players drop from the virtual felt after "UFOLDIWIN" fell in sixth place, "SugarJ" in fifth, and one time chip leader "jeebs" go out in fourth place.
Level 30 saw the last two virtual bodies drop in short succession after "tc_ownz" fell in third place ($3,784), followed by "simlSgg" in second ($5,341).
