The Rich Get Richer
We walked past Stephen McKay’s table and noticed that his chip stack had risen since the start of the level. Next to him was an empty seat which once belonged to Luis Arrilucea. It is safe to assume that Arrilucea was eliminated by McKay, adding more chips to his already dominating stack.
McKay now sits on 137,000 in chips.

Colman Out
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
Making our way around the room, we missed updating the chip stack of Julius Colman. He was hiding away on the corner table of the room. He had a good stack, but must have been involved in a big hand that sent him to the rail, just before the break.
Aston Out Straight After Break
Mike Stecker started the hand off by betting out 1,700. Anthony Aston was next to act, and went all in for his remaining 12,000 in chips. Stecker snap-called and the cards were tabled.
Stecker: 
Aston: 
The board ran out 
to see Aston eliminated from the tournament, and move Stecker’s stack up to 60,000.

Allis Slowly Building
Action started with Joe Allis betting out 1,400, before facing a raise to 3,000. He called, and the flop came out 
. Allis check-called a bet of 2,500, before they both watched the 
drop on the turn. Both players checked to the river, which was the
