and was unable to catch up as the board came down 
.
Luckily for Baker, he had his opponent slightly covered and is still alive in the tournament, albeit with about four big blinds.

Something you don't see very often is a player laying down pocket kings, especially pre-flop. We just saw a woman go into the tank for a few minutes after another player put out a large raise pre-flop. She then folded her pocket kings face up stating, "I'm not too fond of kings, I always run into aces." We don't know if the other player held aces or not, but anything is possible.

Jason Baker has quietly upped his chip stack to just over 70,000. He did most of his damage on a hand where he raised 4,000 preflop. The cutoff shoved all in for 12,700 total, and Baker thought for about 30 seconds before calling. He flipped up 
which was dominating his opponents 
. The flop came 
, and the turn brought the 
giving both players a big flush draw. The river came the , and Baker scooped the pot.
Baker then won the next two hands, both times raising to 4,000 preflop and inducing folds around the table.

A player in middle position raised to 3,400 only to see Juan Dulay re-raise on the button with his final 7,100. The initial raiser made the call also putting much of his stack at risk.
Dulay: 
Opponent: 
The flop, 
, was good news for Dulay and the 
turn gave him two pair. Although his opponent still had three outs left, the 
river would be even more good news for Dulay and he quickly stacked his 16,000 in chips.

We officially have less than 100 players remaining in the tournament and with 81 spots paying, we imagine play will begin to tighten up as we get closer to the money.

Bob Dillon declined to sing us a song but did have a nice hand to put him up over 60,000.
We didn’t see the pre-flop action, but a player from the button got it all in for about 10,000 with 
against Dillon’s 
.
The flop was 
for no change in the standings, but the turn was to give Dillon two outs for the win. At some point as all this unfolded, Dillon did announce that “tens haven’t failed me all day” and for drama’s sake, I’d like to think it was right before he spiked the on the river and took down the hand.
The two players hugged it out and Dillon stacked his newly won chips to put his count just over 60,000.

A player from middle position opened the hand with a raise to 2,300. Alex Alashkar, who had one of the largest stacks at the table already, reraised all in. The big blind followed suit and shipped in his last 9,000 chips. The initial raiser folded and the hands were turned up.
Alashkar: 
Opponent:
The table had a mini roar when they saw that the opponent hit a set of fives but quieted as they realized it was accompanied with a jack. The final board was 
and Alashkar has moved to one of the top spots on the leader board with 63,000.
