It looks like we're going to be playing one final level tonight - but first, time to grab a bite to eat as the remaining 173 players are on dinner break at the Main Event.
You read that right, we're down to less than 180 runners! They have been falling like flies.
Relative unknown Pius Heinz had fought his way to the top and leads the WSOP late on Day 5. Heinz earned his first WSOP cash last month at the 1,500 NLH event - he finished 7th in the event that was won by Athanasios Polychronopoulos.
David Bach and Ben Lamb have both had tremendous success at this year's Series - and it looks like they're not ready to go away just yet - both have big chip stacks and both sit in the top 3, a few chips behind Heinz.
Max Heinzelmann, Bryan Devonshire, Sam Barnhart and Phil Collins (no, not THAT Phil Collins) are other notables currently with Top 10 chip stacks.
Here are the current Top 10 chip stacks:
1 Pius Heinz 4,040,000
2 David Bach 3,935,000
3 Ben Lamb 3,931,000
4 Lars Bonding 3,577,000
5 Max Heinzelmann 3,275,000
6 Alex Moore 3,150,000
7 Bryan Devonshire 2,930,000
8 Sam Barnhart 2,900,000
9 David Barter 2,863,000
10 Phil Collins 2,710,000
Sadly, we say goodbye to Mr. Good TV, Daniel Negreanu - what a boost we would have seen to November 9 ratings if Kid Poker would have been part of the final group - unfortunately, Negreanu left the tournament about two hours ago.
Matt Stout, Jon Friedberg and Joe Tehan are other notables that were recently eliminated.
