Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Things are going from strength to strength for Getnet Kassa. He has just eliminated another player and is over the half-milly mark now.
Parviz Siabi was the unfortunate casualty, making a move all in for 77,500 on the button with 
and losing a flip against Kassa's 
on a 
board.
That takes the field down to the final 36 players, with Kassa's table breaking as a result of that hand.

What a time to find aces. With only 32,000 (8 big blinds), Duncan Mackie got his chips in preflop; and after one player had called, a second opponent re-raised all in to squeeze the first player out of the hand. Playing heads up for a triple up, Mackie turned over pocket 
and was a 5:1 favorite against his opponents' 
.
Mackie had made a full house by the time the 
completed board was down. He is in much better shape now with 25 big blinds in front.

Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
It's that stage of the tournament, where the blinds are expensive for the players who are still on starting stack. Over on Table 1, Daniel Bader opened to 10,000 in the small blind and the player in the big blind three-bet all in for 31,500. Bader liked the price and called.
Daniel Bader: 
Opponent: 
Bader was the marginal underdog as they headed to the flop. It came 
, making a pair for both players but Bader moved into the lead with the higher one. The 
turn changed nothing and the 
river was a brick too, netting Bader a decent sum that takes him above average stack now.

board, Moisac sends a player to the rail and becomes one of the top chip stacks in the process.
