Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Chips move from one stack to the other and then back again.

The action has hit a bit of a lull with no one wanting to take the risk of being the next one out. The four remaining players play pots, but the tournament lives have not been on the line in a good while.

A chop was discussed briefly, but Matt Heiligenthaler's significant lead makes it difficult to get him to agree to take anything less than first-place money.

The clock will tick over to midnight in a moment and there is no realistic end in sight.

Tim Campbell shoved 550,000 with two eights and got the call from Matt Heiligenthaler with the {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

Campbell stayed safe until the river on a {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{a-Hearts} board. He exited sixth and Heiligenthaler's lead is now massive.

It's a five way limped pot and [Removed:339] led out on the {2-}{5-}{6-} flop. Sahar Khajavi called and John Fluder shoved for 400,000.

Matt Heiligenthaler re-shoved and folded the rest out. Fluder had pocket sevens but was in desperate shape against Heiligenthaler's {3-}{4-} straight.

The straight held to send Fluder out seventh.
