Ting Ho was about thirty minutes late to today's play after not getting a wake up call from her hotel as she had expected. Desipte the unfortunate mishap, she was in good spirits when she arrived, telling us, "I believe everything happens for a reason. If I showed up on time maybe I get coolered and I'm out early."
Well she just might be right. Ho has been chipping up all day, and she is now one of our big stacks with 130,000.

The players are back in their seats, and the cards are now in the air. The plan is to play three more 40 minutes levels before the next break. After that, we switch to 60 minute levels, and after two of those, we break for dinner.
Level: 13
Blinds: 700/1,400
Ante: 200
The players are now on their first break of the day. The cards will be back in the air in 15 minutes.
We walked by Hend Matthews' table and saw that she was all smiles, and for good reason. Matthews had just taken in a small pot, but that wasn't the reason she was so happy. She started the day with 61,000, but by our counts now, she's our chip leader with 222,000! We will keep an eye on her as the day goes on.

We just came on an interesting situation involving three players vying for a pot of about 20,000 with the board showing 
.
John Holley had led with a bet of 5,000 from the blinds, then Patrick Houchins made it 12,000 from middle position. Jennifer Alpaugh, playing from the button, tanked for a while before calling, and Holley shrugged and tossed out the calling chips as well.
Houchins quickly tabled 
for the nut flush, and Alpaugh mucked her hand. Holley then nodded as he quickly showed his hand — 
. "Wow, second nuts," said another player, adding how he thought the pot could've gotten bigger.
That hand pushes Houchins up over the 160,000-chip mark.

against a short stack's 
. The board ran down 
, and Harder's turned pair of ten's was good enough to take down the bounty.
Harder is now up to 80,000 after that hand, and looks to be in great form for a deep run.
