Jamie Payne eliminated in 14th ($19,400)

Jamie Payne – up to 8.1 million with 14 left. Jamie Payne – out in 14th.

Jamie Payne's run has come to an end in 14th, and it means it's a two-horse race for the $30K WSOP package. 

He had aces but they were no good vs. Q-8 on Q8xxx board. 

  • Team 5by5: Mark Darner
  • Team Who Is Really There: Vera Dong 

The plan is to play down to the final table today. 

Payne chips up as field falls to 14

Jamie Payne has chipped up to 8.1 million after calling a 300k bet from Chris Nguyen on the river of a jack-high board. Payne had A-J and Nguyen had J-9. 

Meanwhile, Luigi Martins has been KOd in 15th after his K-Q lost to Johnny Bromberg's Q-J with a jack on the river. Bromberg is up to 12 million.

The players are about to go on the first break of the day, and we'll bring you fully updated chip counts shortly.

An L and a W for Payne

Jamie Payne is staying active. He just got check-raised on the flop and lost a small one before dragging one back. 

That brings all the Pick 3 players pretty much level on chips. 

  • Jamie Payne: 7 million
  • Mark Darner: 7 million
  • Vera Dong: 6.7 million

The field is down to 15 courtesy of Pick 3 player Mark Darner, who has eliminated Anthony Guidice.

Darner won a flip with king-queen against Guidice's pocket tens to move up to 7,400,000, with blinds now at 100,000 / 150,000 (150,000).

Sebastian Martinez has also been eliminated, bringing the field to 15 remaining players and three Pick 3 contenders.

The remaining players have also made a pay jump to $19,400, which is also the number of points that the Pick 3 players have now clinched for their teams.
