    Looks like Daniel Negreanu fought back and ended the night with 104,000 in chips.

    I noticed Philippe Boucher has 148,000 in chips....NHL defenseman Philippe Boucher? (Update: It's not)

    Defending Champ Joe Hachem Eliminated 238th ($42,882)
    An opponent moves all-in under-the-gun for $67,000 and Andrew Schreibman calls immediately. Joe Hachem reraises and is all-in for $30,000 more. Schreibman calls and shows J-J. The other opponent has A-Q and Hachem shows A-A. The first card in the door is a J. Hachem fails to improve on the turn and river and the 2005 WSOP Main Event Champion is eliminated in 238th. Schreibman eliminates the other opponent as well and is now at $460,000.

    This after reading the AP's report that Hachem was still in and only 124 players remained ...

    Wonder how accurate they are about Annie Duke, who they say has $460,000

    Still a heck of a run for Hachem in a field of over 8,000. Certainly no disgrace to lose when you put all your chips in the pot with pocket rockets.

    Cardplayer.com says Annie Duke is now at 704,000 chips. Would love to see her make the final table.

    Annie Duke winning the whole shebang would be incredible. Would certainly make her brother work extra hard to beat sis.

    Less than 200 players left, and these are the big names still in:

    Annie Duke
    Humberto Brenes
    Allen Cunningham (though he is low on chips)
    Mike McClain (final table in '04)
    David Chiu

    Now down to 135 players left.

    Jamie Gold, a poker pro with no previous WSOP cashes, has $3.7 million in chips, roughly a $1.4 million chip lead over second place Max Reele.

    Annie Duke has $919,000

    Cunningham's low on chips? Hmmm, cardplayer.com has him at 900,000 today.

    Also Jeffery Lisandro is still in. Pretty decent player who's been on ESPN a few times.

    Brenes is such a pain in the ass, I hope he takes a one-outer then breaks his ankle leaving the table.

    I actually enjoy Brenes' play. He adds color to the table without being a jerk about it. He has fun and it looks like everyone around him has fun as well.

    Lisandro Eliminates Duke in 88th ($51,129)
    Annie Duke is all-in preflop against Jeff Lisandro, Lisandro having Duke covered. Duke shows A3 and Lisandro flips 88 for the lead. The flop comes 993, giving Duke a few more outs with the remaining two 3's. The turn and river are 2 and 4 and Duke is eliminated from the tournament in 88th, earning her $51,129. Lisandro now sits with $2,500,000.
