We're down to four player and the blinds have gone up. Here are the current chip counts for the survivors.

1	Alex Gomez:	$1.32 million
2	Rick Rossetti:	$482,000
3	Feming Chan:	$322,000
4	John Racener:	$244,000

Two big hands between Ken Goldin and Feming Chan have sent Ken to the rail and left Feming with considerably more chips. In the first it was Feming who pushed all-in from the button and got an insta-call from Goldin in the big blind. Ken was ahead before the flop with his A-J leading Feming's K-Q. A queen on the flop changed that however and Goldin was unable to recover. Two hands later, on the button, Ken pushed the rest of his stack in with K-9 and ran into Chan again who called with A-9 from the small blind. Unable to crack the hand, Ken is gone in fifth place and will receive $69,018.

With MJ Bernstein in the small blind and the chip leader, Alex Gomez, in the big, Bernstein pushed all-in after the action was folded around to him. Alex makes the call and turns over pocket nines which are in a race against MJ's K-J. Bernstein was unable to improve with the board though and is eliminated, his stack becoming part of the juggernaut that is Alex Gomez. MJ's out in 6th place, receiving $57,515.

Feming Chan moved all-in from the small blind and got a call from Rick Rossetti who was under the gun. Chan's J-9 will have to improve to overcome Rick's A-2. The flop hit Feming big when it came J-J-7, giving him the set and the lead. Rick was unable to recover and will double Feming up.

Hot on the heels of Drew Giliem's recent elimination, Ray Lin moved all-in after a pre-flop raise from Rick Rossetti. Rick thought it over for a few moments before making the call and turning over big slick. He had Ray's A J dominated and was looking to dodge a jack from the board. Rick's hand held up and he has sent Lin to the rail in 7th place, taking home $46,012.

Drew Giliem moved all-in from under-the-gun for $70,000 on top of the blinds. MJ Bernstein, next to act, also pushed all-in and succeeded in isolating Giliem. MJ was way ahead with pocket kings against Drew's pocket sixes. The board changed nothing and Drew Giliem is busted in 8th place, receiving $35,409.

Tom Ly is the first to fall from this final table. After a button raise from Rick Rossetti, Ly pushed in for a total of $135,000. WIth the decision back on Rick he took a few minutes to make his decision and eventually made a gutsy call. Turning over A-9 he was ecstatic to see he was in a dominating position against Tom's A-7. The flop came J 3 5, not much help to either player. Ly was looking for a seven but a six on the turn gives Tom an inside straight to add to his list of outs. The river is an ace though and Tom Ly is busted in ninth place, receiving $23,006.

The last twenty minutes of the level we ended during last night has expired and the blinds have gone up accordingly. $8,000/$16,000 with an ante of $2,000 is what we're playing at now and some of the small stacks had better start trying to make something happen before being blinded out.

Ken Goldin moved all-in for $77,000 after Tom Ly had made it $30,000 to go. It was folded around to Ly who made the call and flipped over Q T. Goldin shows A K and, despite being ahead, is calling for an ace or a king on the flop. The board comes 7 9 4, no help to either player. The turn brings the T and puts Ly in the lead but gives Ken a diamond flush draw to go with his two overcards. The Q hits the river and makes the flush for Goldin, doubling him up and keeping him in this event.

The cards are in the air and the first two pots have gone to chip leader Alex Gomez. With such a massive stack, somebody will have to take a stand against him before it's too late.
