Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
The introduction of today's play incorrectly stated that eight levels will be played tonight. Instead, play will continue until the end of Level 20 or when the money bubble bursts, whichever occurs later.
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Picking up the action on the river, Mark D on the button was involved in a hand with a player in the small blind. With the board reading 
the small bind checked to Mark D who moved all in with the covering stack. That sent his opponent, who, with a little over 100,000 had roughly pot behind, deep into the thank. Eventually the small blind made a crying call but was forced to the exits after he could not beat the 
of Mark D.

Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
A player opened to 11,000 on the button and Gabi Livshitz defended out of the big blind.
The single suit 
flop saw Livshitz check and then call his opponent's 10,000 continuation.
Livshitz checked for a second time following the 
turn and then, with a slight twist of the head, call once again after the button player fired off 25,000.
The 
river completed the board, prompting Livshitz to check for a third and final time. His opponent, seemingly unfazed at being unable to shed Livshitz on either of the two previous streets, pushed 44,000 into the middle, a figure that represented the vast majority of Livshitz's remaining stack. After some pause, Livshitz responded by moving all in and, despite the favorable pot odds on offer, the button player, with the look of someone who has been truly owned, mucked.

Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
A player in early position opened to 8,000 and was called by Joseph Mouwad in the small blind as well as Maxime Chilaud in the big blind.
Both blinds checked to the initial raiser on a flop of 
and he continued for 13,000. Mouwad responded by moving all in, getting two quick folds from both of his opponents. Mouwad enjoyed a deep run in this event back in January, ultimately finishing in fourth for $57,200, a score that, though impressive, he will surely be hoping to better this time around.
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
A player opened to 8,000 from middle position and was called by a player in late position. Action then folded to Florian Duta on the button who three-bet to 29,000. That elicited a fold from the initial raiser but the late position player decided to make the call to send the two players heads-up to the flop.
Action went check-check on a flop of 
before the 
hit the felt on the turn. The late position player checked for a second time and then folded after Duta fired a delayed continuation of 20,000 to send Duta's stack north of the 400,000 mark.
