There's around 75,000 in the middle, and two players looking at the A♣J♠9♣7♦ board. Benny Bianco bets 20,000 in the small blind, and Rami Owera shoves all in from the hijack. Bianco asks for a count, and upon hearing the 88,000 total, Bianco sighs and moves a stack of chips forward to call.

Owera: J♥J♣ (set of jacks)
Bianco: A♠9♠ (two pair)

The 7♦ turn and Q♣ river are safe for Owera, and he doubles up.

"Come on dealer, what in the heck are you doing here?" Bianco says as the chips are passed across the table.  

Rami Owera - 250,000
Benny Bianco - 160,000

After a preflop raising war, the player on the button shoves all in, and Zac Costa quickly calls.

Button: K♦K♠

Costa's opponent is only in the lead until the flop comes 9♦7♠5♦, giving Costa a set of nines.

Ted Driscoll was recently eliminated from play by Soukha Kachittavong. According to Driscoll, he opened in the cutoff to 2,600, and Mike Nye called on the button.  Soukha Kachittavvong raised to 7,600 in the big blind, and Driscoll shoved all in for 39,500. Nye apparently said that he was going to squeeze with pocket nines, but ended up folding, and Kachittavong snap-called with K♥K♣. Driscoll showed A♥Q♥.

Driscoll was in need of an ace to take the lead, but the flop came king high, giving Kachittavong a set of kings, and Driscoll was unable to improve and was eliminated from play.

"I thought he was squeezing there, which a lot of times he is, but he woke up with kings," Driscoll said as he gathered his belongings.

Soukha Kachittavong - 265,000
Ted Driscoll - Eliminated

Event #16B ($2,200 NLH Main Event) - Flight B Advancing Players (By Chip Count)

Chris Orme - Chip Leader of Flight B

The final starting flight (Flight B) of the $2,200 No-Limit Hold'em Championship drew a total of 174 entries. After nine levels of play, 73 players are advancing to Day 2.  Those 73 players will join with the 18 players advancing from Flight A (and any that choose to direct-buy into Day 2), and will return to play Day 2 on Sunday at 11 am.  Because players are allowed to enter up until the start of play on Day 2, the prizepool has not yet been calculated. The prizepool will be tabulated and posted as soon as it's available sometime after 11 am on Sunday.

Chris Orme ended as the Flight B chip leader with 233,500. Orme started building early in the day and took the chip lead in Level 3 after sending a player home holding a set of jacks against his opponent's two pair. Orme then went on to eliminate Galen Hall shortly after, pushing him to the head of the pack.  Orme was always one of the top three to four biggest stacks throughout the day.

Coming in second from Flight B is Benny Bianco, with 207,100. Julian Sacks rounds out the top three, ending the night with 195,800.

Over the course of the day many notables fell including Michael Dobbs, Vanessa Selbst, Joe Heinzmann, John Caputo, and Laurie Hilton. All of these players still have the option to buy in directly to Day 2 on Sunday at 11 am if they so choose.

James Frangoulidis was the only player to bag in both flights. He bagged 21,400 in Flight A, and then bagged 37,600 in today's Flight B. Since this is a best stack forward event, he will carry only his higher stack forward to Day 2.

Here is a look at the 73 players advancing from Flight B (by chip count):
