Play resumes at 1.00pm later today.

12:50 AM
Things have been pretty dull since Dewey Archer got busted in 11th over two hours ago. Many of the media are dreading a late night, because tomorrow's final table will certainly last until the early morning. There was one exciting moment, when Dave Williams got all in with A-Q against Josh Arieh's 10-10. Williams hit an ace on the turn and doubled up.

12:05 AM
Glenn Hughes raises $200,000 from the button, and Marcel Luske moves all in from the big blind for $960,000 more. Luske begins stacking his chips into a giant wall in the middle of the table. Luske sips his beverage, and then takes on a very concerned expression: pursing his lips and furrowing his brow in a very obvious manner. Hughes continues to think, and Luske, apparently bored, begins cleaning his sunglasses with his tie. (From the rail, Devilfish informs him that he missed a speck of dust). Hughes studies even more, and Luske slumps back in his chair and closes his eyes as though sleeping. ("Give him a blankie!" exclaims Devilfish.) Finally, Hughes folds. He turns over 9-9 and begs Luske to show his hand. Likewise, the crowd demands to see Luske's hand. Finally, Luske relents, turns over A-J offsuit and rakes the pot as the crowd applauds.
