New Table Standings, Hand For Hand Play In Progress

[user46392]

With 11 players remaining, the tables look like this:

Table 6

1 Michael Watson -- 131,000
2 Dennis Phillips -- 112,000
3 Isaac Haxton -- 123,000
4 Jason Mercier -- 150,000
5 David Benyamine -- 233,000

Table 9

1 John Juanda -- 211,000
2 Alexander Roumeliotis -- 240,000
3 Peter Jetten -- 99,000
4 Masaaki Kagawa -- 180,000
5 Scotty Nguyen -- 92,000
6 Isabelle Mercier -- 104,000

It was announced that when they got down to 10 players (the actual bubble) they would play two five-handed tables, hand for hand. At the players' request, though, they decided to go hand for hand with 11 players left. Action may slow down a little, with the difference between 9th and 10th places being the difference between going home with over ��50,000 and going home empty-handed.
