Action resumes in Level 24 with blinds of 50,000/100,000 and an average stack of 2,583.000.

George Grabe called a raise to 300,000 by the chip leader Shane Brown and checked the A♣8♣2♦ flop. Brown bet 400,000 and Grabe flung his cards with a lot of force and frustration into the muck.
After the hand, David Lu folded and pulled his bounty. He then walked back to the seat and celebrated with a loud "let's goooooo".
"How much did you get, six eighty?" Erick Ortiz asked and Lu replied "nine forty-five."
Erick Ortiz opened to 200,000 in the cutoff before Lingyu Zen jammed for 875,000 from the button, and Ortiz snap-called with the slightly covering stack.
Lingyu Zen: A♣7♣
Erick Ortiz: A♥K♣
Ortiz held the dominating ace as the J♠9♦6♥ flop helped neither player. The 10♦ turn gave Zen a gutshot, but the river was the 2♣ and he was eliminated.
Simon Lau has been absent since the last break and still has chips left to have already laddered up one pay jump.
In the meanwhile on his table, Todd Lewis three-bet jammed for 850,000 and initial min-raiser David Lu called.
Todd Lewis: 8♠8♣
David Lu: A♠Q♦
The pocket pair failed to hold up on the K♣Q♠7♦10♣A♥ runout and Lu earned the bounty pull.
It folded to Robert Bernstein in the small blind who jammed for 555,000 and Todd Lewis called in the big blind.
Robert Bernstein: 8♠8♦
Todd Lewis: K♠10♠
It was a coinflip scenario as the A♦9♦6♦ flop kept Bernstein in front and he also picked up the only flush draw. The board ran out A♠5♥, leaving Bernstein's eights best for the double.
At the other table, Alan Johnson doubled through Erick Ortiz for 520,00
Namit Patel has already won tournaments at Borgata on both Wednesday and Thursday, and he's well placed to make it a hat-trick after adding more chips to his stack in the $580 Mirror Mystery Bounty.
He raised and Robert Bernstein called from the big blind. Bernstein check-called for 145,000 on the Q♥9♦2♥ flop before the 9♠ turn checked through to the Q♠ river.
Bernstein led out for 300,000, and showed signs of dismay when Patel called.
Bernstein's 4♥4♦ had been counterfeited, and sent his hand into the muck after Patel tabled K♦10♥
Yuriy Davidoff jammed for 765,000 from early position and Alan Johnson called as the big stack from the big blind.
Yuriy Davidoff: A♠9♠
Alan Johnson: K♠K♥
Davidoff added nine more outs on the Q♠4♠4♣ flop, drawing to the flush. It failed to come in on the 6♣ turn but the 7♠ river sent Davidoff into some wild celebrations.
Namit Patel raised to 160,000 and David Lu jammed for 1,020,000 in the small blind. It folded back to Patel who asked for a count and then called.
David Lu: 7♠7♥
Namit Patel: 6♠5♠
"I think that is the best thing you can have," George Grabe mentioned from the other side of the table with the pocket pair against two suited under cards.
The board ran out Q♦J♥10♣8♦J♣ and Lu doubled to take a chunk out of Lu's stack.
