Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Gary Schwartz raised to 25,000 from middle position and Dale Hanke called for his remaining 22,000 on the button. Another opponent also called from the small blind and there was still live heads-up action for the side pot.

Schwartz held {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and was up against the {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} of Hanke. The turn brought the {a-Hearts} and Schwartz took the lead. The river was the {k-Spades} and Hanke was eliminated.

Ronald Swain Takes the Chip Lead

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Ronald Swain raised to 10,000 from under the gun and was called by Roy Jones in the big blind. The flop came {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Jones checked to Swain who bet 12,000. Jones called and the turn was the {a-Clubs}.

Jones checked again and Swain bet 15,000 which Jones called. The river brought the {2-Diamonds} and Jones pushed all in for 169,000. Swain instantly called and Jones tabled his hand first: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. Swain showed his cards right away too and made the nut flush with {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

In what was a massive cooler for Jones, it turned out to be the biggest pot of the day going the way of Swain and giving him the chip lead with just 66 players remaining.

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

While doing the last round of counts, we caught a glimpse of Terry Stuhldreher raking in another pot after getting it all in preflop with pocket rockets against an opponent's pocket kings. Stuhldreher held as the board didn't connect for the kings and has now moved his stack from 30,100 up to over 250,000.
