The table break took place, & this time it's unlikely he'll be moving again soon, as he is on "table 2", which won't be breaking until they make the Final.
Meanwhile, over in the Main which is in Amazon Room (the Droplet is in the Brasilia Room) the clock has stopped & they are playing the last few hands.
Any time now, the corridor will explode with hubbub, hustle & bustle as the players exit the Amazon Room & start that long, long walk up the Rio Corridor.
124 left with the current payout level $3437. It stays at this level until we get down to 99 players, when the money jumps accelerate and go up every 9 players.
Frenchman Guillame Diaz is the only player with over a million chips with a phalanx of Americans next - Ben Grise, Michael Gragg and Jordan Hanrich. First well known name is Calvin Anderson in 6th.
Some other players still showing with chips - Jared Jaffee, Marvin Rettenmaier, Chris Ferguson, Jeff Madsen and John Racener.
No Brits are showing among the chip counts but then only 36 people are showing, and that inlcudes one or two that have busted anyway. Come on WSOP, sort it out!

Ahh yes, I never thought of that. Not sure if they redraw - guess they likely will.
117 left.
Play is scheduled to end in 40 minutes, though they generally stop earlier & call "last X hands".
gooner lost a big pot to slide back down to 230,000, which was a bit of a blow.
A few hands later, he got a good chunk back when check called the flop & turn.
The river delivered every draw going - 2 straights & a flush, but gooner bet out, forcing the fold. He had a set.
That gets him back to 300,000.
Blinds are currently 5,000-10,000/1,000, so he has around 30 Bigs.
He has a decent "live" CV though, with a few decent results, mainly in Luton & London, but with a sprinkling of overseas flags, too.
The 2011 November Niner is one of the recent eliminations as WSOP are now showing 110 left.

In the space of 10 minutes, gooner........
Ran 10-10 into slow played Aces on a low board.
Ran 10-10 which setted up into Kings - which also setted up.
Ran A-Q into Queens & failed to improve.
Finally, after a 2Xup, he got his last 100,000 in with A-K & walked into Queens, & failed to improve.
From 400,000 to zero in the space of 10 minutes.
He's a bit cross with himself that he failed to get off any of those coups, perhaps due to tiredness, but I think he did himself, & Sky Poker, proud.
I don't have his finishing position yet, but I think he was around 114th, something like that.
And so that's a very good night from me, with the line I was hoping not to write.....
gooner is a goner.
proud of you gooner. vwp. well done representing us all at home so well.

I hope you all enjoy your last few days in Vegas.
Thanks also to the sky team for great updates they were amazing.
