Geoffrey McNeely has been eliminated in 11th place, so the final 10 players will now come together on the final table of 10 players.
Here is the new seating draw for the remaining players in the tournament.
Final Table
Since the break there have been a few quick eliminations as the tourney moves towards a final table and the bubble immediately following.
14th place, Philip Richard Elliot
13th place, Michael Tieu
12th place, Guillaume Rivet
This means there are just 11 players left and with one more elimination, the final table will be set.
The Second Chance event is down to 14 players who have just left the tables for their first break of the day.
We have updated chip counts for the entire field. The bubble in this tournament is the 10th player to be eliminated, meaning that the first player to be eliminated on the final table is the bubble and the 9 remaining players will be paid. The bubble is definitely looming in front of the players.

Photographs taken during level 14 – final two tables:
Andrew Hinrichsen made a small raise and Logan Dunn called from the cutoff. Guillaume Rivet then 3bet to 24K and Andrew didn’t take long to put in a 4bet shove. Logan got out of the way and after a little time in the tank Guillaume made the call.
Andrew: 
Guillaume: 
Guillaume never took the lead in the race as the community cards ran out 
and shipped approximately 75% of his stack across the table to Andrew.
There’s some loud but clearly good-natured banter going on between Nicholas Palma and Steven Buckner, and both speak with instantly recognizable New York accents – and if you’ve spent any time with New Yorkers, it’s the kind of thing you’ve heard a hundred times but if not, well, it could seem kind of extreme.
Steven, folding, showing an Ace: “You really like to 3-bet me, don’t you?”
Nicholas: “Yeah, I was talking with my buddy last night and told him I was going to 3-bet every time you raised… But I’ll tell you, you’d better have it if you come after me, cuz, you’d better have it. You should probably have another Ace behind that one if you’re going to come after me!”
Meanwhile play continues as we wait for the next elimination to bring us to the redraw.
The 19 players left in the Second Chance tournament have resumed play on 3 tables. Blinds are now 60 minutes long and play will continue for a minimum of 10 levels today – there’s a chance that if there are players remaining at the end of the 10 levels, they will choose to play it right through to the end. The players will have that option.
There will be a full seating redraw at 18 players remaining (in other words, after 1 more elimination).
Good luck!
This is the official seating chart for Day 2 of the Second Chance tournament, which is Event 13 in the partypoker.net Playground Poker Spring Classic.
