No Limping Allowed

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

It was folded to George Lusby who decided to just call from the button. The small blind, Gregory Johnson, made it 11,000 to go and John Moe thought for a bit before holding his cards up and handing them to the dealer. Lusby quickly folded to give Johnson the small pot.

There are 32 players remaining, just five from making the money.

Setser's Aces Good

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

On the last hand before the break, we got to the table on the turn with the board showing {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and a bet of 10,000 in front of Chad Setser who was in the small blind with approximately 30,000 already in the pot. John Moe was on the button and raised it up to 35,000. Setser thought for a moment and made the call.

The two would check the {10-Spades} river and Setser quietly said "aces" as he turned over {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}.

"Aces," smiled Moe as he slid his cards to the dealer. "Wow, good hand. Can't beat aces."

Bubble Almost Bursts... But Doesn't

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

It looked like the tournament was going to be in the money when John Moe had {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} against Gregory Johnson's {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. The dealer would put a straight on the board however and it would be a split pot. Still hand-for-hand.

Johnson Survives

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

A short-stacked Gregory Johnson doubled up in a blind-versus-blind confrontation against Libby Wilson when his {Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs} would prevail against Wilson's {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} when the board ran out {J-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

Bubble Bursts

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Shane Delaney is the unfortunate bubble boy when he moved all in for his last 2,500 with {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and could not outdraw his opponent's {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} when the board ran out {7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts}. They have redrawn to three tables and there are 27 players remaining.
