Andrew Lichtenberger
Andrew Lichtenberger and Craig Blight return on Sunday at noon, to play heads-up down to a winner. Heads-up play hasn't even started yet. In the last hand of the day, Chris Johnson was eliminated in third place, and Blight and Lichtenberger did not take the option of playing another level today.
Play will start tomorrow in Level 32, 20,000/80,000/160,000, and Lichtenberger starts with a 3:1 lead with 12,765,000 (79 bb) against Craig Blight's 4,100,000 (25 bb).
Today, 31 players returned, with Tony Ruberto in the lead. We quickly lost WSOP-fenomenals John Racener (28th, $13,612) and John Hennigan (27th, $16,356), and they were followed by Simon Deadman (26th, $16,356), David Valcourt (20st, $16,536), Pierre Neuville (19th, $16,536), and James Akenhead (18th, $20,382).
Jay Farber (15th, $25,485) came close to the final table, and when we reached the unofficial final table, end of Day 2 chip leader Tony Ruberto (10th, $32,320) was the first to go.
Daniel Wagner (9th, $41,563), Roger Teska (8th, $54,190) and Thomas Miller (7th, $71,617) were next in line, while end of Day 1 chip leader Erhan Iscan finished in sixth ($95,925).
In the last hour of the day, Linglin Zeng's (5th, $130,191) impressive run came to an end, and not much later she was joined in the rail by Mac Sohrabi (4th, $179,015).
In the last hand of the day Chris Johnson (3rd, $249,336) fell to Andrew Lichtenberger, and Lichtenberger and Aussie Craig Blight will battle it out tomorrow for a first-place prize of $569,158, and a coveted gold bracelet.
