The second break of the evening has just concluded and Level 9 has now begun with blinds of 1,000/2,000 and an ante of 250. The number of entries in the tournament has risen to 56, and 46currently are in action across six tables of play. Here's a look at the first page of the leader board.
In Level 8 with blinds of 800/1,600 and an ante of 200, "golden13" jammed for 12,100 in early position and was called by both "mrunicorn88" in the hijack and "PocketSomun" in the cutoff. "poflatland" jammed for around 800 more and then "King_Icon" cold four-bet jammed for 69,100 in the big blind. "mrunicorn88" folded and "PocketSomun" called.

"poflatland": 
"King_Icon": 
"PocketSomun": 
"poflatland" saw themselves ahead and needing to only fade three overcards among their three opponents. Meanwhile, "golden13" needed to hit a three outer to find a quintuple. The flop 
obliged, and the turn 
left them sweating only the two remaining nines in the deck. The river came 
to complete the runout and earn them the main pot.
Meanwhile, "poflatland" won the first side pot of a mere 2,356 and the second side pot was split between the two ace-king hands to result in no eliminations, and therefore not a single bounty being recorded from the four-way all-in preflop scenario.
Level 7 has now begun with blinds of 600/1,200 and an ante of 125. The three-hour registration period is one-third of the way through, and the number of players in the field has grown to 51, meaning the total prize pool is now $15,555. Over two hours of registration still remain, and the sky is the limit in terms of the final overall prize pool.
In the meantime, eight eliminations have occurred. Here's a look at those who have earned bounties, one of whom is the new chip leader "MyCousinVinny5".
| Player | #KOs | Won |
|---|---|---|
| MyCousinVinny5 | 1 | $100 |
| mrunicorn88 | 2 | $200 |
| Ryan "simISgg" Hagerty | 2 | $200 |
| goods21 | 1 | $100 |
| packers467 | 1 | $100 |
| IReadYrSoul | 1 | $100 |
In Level 6 with blinds of 500/1,000 and an ante of 125, "millertime4244" opened to 2,500 under the gun and action folded over to "goods21" in the hijack, who called. "Gohednpopoff" called behind in the cutoff, as did "NoRverNoFish" on the button, and action went four ways to a flop of 
.
The first three players checked and "NoRverNoFish" put in a bet of 8,300. "millertime4244" folded to put action back onto "goods21," who check-jammed for 40,000. "Gohednpopoff" folded and "NoRverNoFish" called all in for less.
"NoRverNoFish": 
"goods21": 
"goods21" had flopped the goods, while "NoRverNoFish" needed the board to pair in order to score the double. The turn 
was meaningless other than bringing three counterfeit chop outs into the picture. "NoRverNoFish" found no help on the river 
and were eliminated from the tournament, with "goods21" earning a $100 bounty and bringing their stack up to 86,000.
In Level 5 with blinds of 400/800 and an ante of 100, there was a six-way limped pot to a flop of 
that saw action check to "RiverMan" in early position, who bet 3,000. "mrunicorn" was next to act in middle position and "clicked it back," putting in a minimum-raise of 6,000. Action folded back to "RiverMan" and they called.
The turn was and "RiverMan" checked. "mrunicorn88" bet 13,500 and "RiverMan" called, bringing the river . "RiverMan" led out with a bet of 18,700 and "mrunicorn88" called to take the hand to showdown.
"RiverMan" showed 
for a rivered flush, good to earn them the pot upon "mrunicorn88" mucking. In total, over 82,000 was shipped to "RiverMan" and their stack is now over six figures.
In Level 4 with blinds of 300/600 and an ante of 75, preflop action saw "OpenJam" and "poflatland" commit 1,800 each under the gun and on the button, respectively. The flop came 
and "OpenJam" checked. "poflatland" bet 2,500 and "OpenJam" called.
Both players checked the turn 
to bring the river 
on board. "OpenJam" made a bet of 5,100 and "poflatland" called, taking the hand to showdown.
"OpenJam" showed for quad eights and the pot of more than 20,000 was shipped their way.
