"AlwaysTimed" had to get a rebuy in under the wire after they called off a button shove for more than their stack from "V.F.A.". "V.F.A." had the better ace with ace-queen against ace-eight, and the runout didn't help, but "AlwaysTimed" hit the rebuy button with under two minutes to go in registration to get back in.
There are now 167 players and 17 rebuys for a total of 184 entries, but only 89 of them are still in play now as they head to a break with less than 15 minutes left in registration.
