Barry Woods (pictured above) has been missing since the dinner break, and now we know why — he was complaining of some severe abdominal pain, and the paramedics were called to take him to a hospital.
According to his Twitter feed (see below), he was diagnosed with a distended hernia, and he is trying to get discharged so he can return to his chip stack, which is being blinded off. With 75 minutes left in this level, he had 190,000 in chips (about 47 big blinds).
If Woods can’t make it back, does he have enough chips to make it into the money? We’ll have to wait and see.
