Mike McGuinness

A player in early position raised to 15,000 and two players called. Ryan Dodd re-raised to 55,000 from the small blind and the early position player called.

With the action back on Mike McGuinness he moved all in for about 200,000 and Dodd re-shoved all in. The early position player folded and the hands were shown.

Ryan Dodd: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Mike McGuinness: {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The board ran out {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Dodd paired his ace on the flop to score the knockout. There are now just 54 players remaining and Dodd looks to be the chip leader with 700,000.

Ryan Dodd was at the top of the chip counts for much of the night and he is still playing a monster stack of 700,000.

A new chip leader has emerged and he happens to be seated to Dodd's direct left.

Naveen Chettipally has caught fire after the dinner break and he's sitting behing a mountain of 850,000.

There's plenty of potential for a massive pot on table four if these two big stacks elect to clash.

In the Money

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The lengthy Event #21 money bubble has finally burst here in the Signature Room. Mike Malinconico got the last of his chips all in pre-flop holding {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} against the {a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} of his opponent.

He was in great shape to double up but there was a deuce in the window to seal his fate.

The remaining 36 players are now all in the money and guaranteed a minimum of $557 for their efforts.

Break

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The Event #21 players are now on a 15-minute color up break.

We will pick right back up on all of the live tournament action when play resumes.

Roland Israelashvili: {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{k-Spades} and Guirguis spiked his king on the river to send Israelashvili to the rail.
