Chip and Chair
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
During hand-for-hand play Todd Tucker called us over to talk about the run Daniel Aldridge had been on since the 2,000/4,000 level.
At one point Adridge was down to his last 5,000, found himself in the big blind, and was short 3,000 for a complete big blind due to the 4,000 ante.
He won the hand then went on a heater.
Aldridge was sitting on 160,000 during our conversation.
Bubble Bursts on the River
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Fifteen minutes into the Level 18 Kenneth Winn found himself all-in in the small blind for his remaining 4,000. Early position Rodney Springs called the 8,000 big blind as did Mika Evans in late position. Todd Tucker, in the big blind, checked his option.
Action check through on the 
flop. It would do so again on 
turn.
With the 
river Spriggs and Tucker checked to Smith who announced "queen." Winn stood up with a pained look and a "dangit," as he turned over 
for a flopped pair that had put him in the lead. Spriggs and Tucker mucked.
Winn commented to us after the hand that had survived three orbits on the big blind and that he had been card dead the whole time. He stated he had to throw away pocket fives and deuces during that stretch.
Winn stated he does not normally play tournaments and that he played after buying the seat on a fluke off of someone who had won it in a satellite.

Robbins Doubles through Mullens
Level 16
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
We missed the preflop blow-by-blow but Chance Robbins got all his chips in the middle before the flop and was called by Shane Mullens.
Chance Robbins: 
Shane Mullens: 
Robbins was the player all-in and we were off to the races. The flop came 
to keep Robbins in the lead, but the hit the turn to flip the percentages.
With no straight or flush draw, Robbins would need a nine to stay alive and lightning struck when the 
came on the river.
