Hollien Doubles Thru Kachittavong

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Grant Hollien & Soukha Kachittavong
Grant Hollien & Soukha Kachittavong

Grant Hollien got all-in with pocket Kings against the pocket threes of Soukha Kachittavong. The flop brought both a set, so Hollien retained the lead.

When the case three failed to appear, Grant doubled up. Kachittavong was still in fine shape with ~3 million.

Hand-for-hand play continues...

Stolt Catches Case Ace to Survive

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Arian Stolt
Arian Stolt

Arian Stolt was all-in for 770,000 holding pocket Aces against a player with pocket nines.

The flop of {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} left Stolt drawing slim, as one player mucked an ace.

Then the case ace landed on the turn, giving him the bigger set and new life. When the {7-Hearts} completed the board, he doubled up to ~1.6 million.

Play was called to a halt to prepare for hand-for-hand play on the bubble. They're just one player away from the money!

Here are just a few familiar faces that have departed:

Level: 22

Blinds: 15,000/30,000

Ante: 30,000

Ghahreman Doubles Up

Level 21 : 12,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Pasha Ghahreman
Pasha Ghahreman

Pasha Ghahreman got his stack in holding the best hand, pocket aces, against the pocket kings of his opponent. The Aces held and Ghahreman doubled up to ~1.8 million.

Chips are going to be hard to come by on Table 9. He's got to deal with Rafael Reis, Rick Lee, Dan Buzgon, and Carlos Alvarado all sharing the felt.

Break Time Big Stacks and Other Chip Counts

Level 21 : 12,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Ken Barkoff
Ken Barkoff

As of the break, it appeared that Ken Barkoff was the chip leader with 3 million.

Here are the other big stacks around the room, plus a few extras.

Alim Halved Before the Break

Level 21 : 12,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Players are back on the felt, but Markus Alim ran into some trouble shortly before the break.

He had pocket queens and got a shorter stack all-in pre-flop holding big slick. A King on the river gave his opponent a bigger pair and the double-up, cutting his stack in half to about 1 million.
