The blinds have increased to 500/1,000 and this is the last level of play left in the night. The bagging process will begin at the conclusion of the level and the surviving players will return tomorrow at 12pm to resume play.
Farid Jattin was flying under the radar for much of the day but that is no longer the case. Jattin has been getting involved in plenty of pots here in the late levels of Day 1 and it's certainly paying off. After winning multiple hands in the last few minutes Jattin has quickly chipped up to 75,000 as we approach the last level of play in the night.

They both checked throughout the turn and river and Anderson revealed for the flush. Boyd mucked his hand.
A player in early position raised to 1,800 and Scott Clements called from the cutoff. The big blind called and they went three handed to the flop. The big blind led out with a bet of 5,000 and Clements called.

Dan Santoro was dragging in a massive pot and a player at the table gave us a rundown on the action.
Santoro was all in for 41,700 preflop holding against the player on the button and the short-stacked small blind who was all in for less.
"I had bad kings and the button had bad aces," said the small blind. The board ran out and Santoro improved to quad fives, more than doubling his chip stack in the process of sending the small blind to the rail.
