First Break of the Day

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The first two levels are in the books and the field is going on a 15-minute break. There are 65 players in the field - just one off from hand-for-hand play.

Level: 18

Blinds: 4,000/8,000

Ante: 8,000

Hand for Hand Play

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

We lost a player on a hand that extended into the break. As a result, the field is now on the money bubble and playing hand-for-hand.

The 25,000 chips came into play over the break.

Nils Bardsley Eliminated on Bubble

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Hand-for-hand for play lasted for 13 rounds with two double ups in hands 11 and 12. But Nils Bardsley packed his backpack while the rest of the applauded for making the money.

Jack Peterson limped from the small blind, Nils Bardsley checked his option and the flop came {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. Peterson check-called 15,000 and the turn came {K-Hearts}. Peterson checked, Bardsley bet 35,000 and Peterson check-raised to 100,000.

Bardsley moved all in with {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Peterson called holding {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. The river came {J-Hearts}, filling Peterson's flush and Bardsley's two pair was no good.

Casino Eliminates Driscoll

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

An unknown player opened to 20,000, Ted Driscoll moved all in for 112,000 on the button and Craig Casino called from the big blind. The original raiser mucked and the cards were tabled.

Casino: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Driscoll: {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}

The board ran {10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Casino stacked Driscoll's chips.

Brown Flirting With a Milly

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

We found this hand on the flop with significant action underway. The board was {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, a player checked, Tho Nguyen bet 125,000 and Stu Brown moved all in. A third player tank-folded and action passed to Nguyen. He went deep into the tank and Brown called the clock on Nguyen.

The floorman arrived, verbalized his final five second countdown and Nguyen slammed down calling chips with two seconds left. Brown tabled {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for a set and Nguyen was on a draw with {A-Spades}{K-Spades}.

The board finished {7-Hearts}{J-Hearts}, Nguyen bricked and Brown stacked nearly a million chips.
