Second Payout Step Reached
There are just 214 players remaining and the second payout step for ��7,500 has been reached. Among those to settle for ��2,500 less was Paul Corrigan, who tried to get Paul Carr off an ace in a raising war out of a battle of the blinds. Ultimately, Corrigan shoved for another 5,335,000 on top and Carr eventually called.
Paul Corrigan: 
Paul Carr: 
The board came 
and Corrigan's pair on the flop ended up second-best to the straight of Carr on the river. The same table features poker superstar Steve O'Dwyer while fellow High Roller regular Sergey Lebedev one table over also chipped up.
And then, Jon Spinks got it in with 
against the 
of Robert Schulz. The flop of 
seemingly ended the tournament for Spinks right there, but the turn and 
river ensured a fortunate split pot.
