With 31 players left, hand-for-play has begun at the four remaining tables.
Level: 18
Blinds: 4,000/8,000
Ante: 8,000
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.

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.
Players have gone on their first 15-minute break. When they return blinds will be 5,000/10,000 with a 10,000 big blind ante.
