"RiverMan" Leads At Break
Level 24 has begun with blinds of 8,000/16,000 and an ante of 2,000 as the tournament enters a five-minute break. Eleven players now remain after "supafishh" and Yong "IReadYrSoul" Kwon found the virtual rail in the two minutes leading up to break.
Kwon found himself crippled after getting stacks in from the small blind against "RiverMan", who was on the button for a pot of 1.29 million.
Yong "IReadYrSoul" Kwon: 
"RiverMan": 
Kwon took a commandling lead to the flop 
, where he found himself needing to fade 11 outs. The turn 
was safe, but "RiverMan" made like their name as 
completed the runout to give them a straight. Kwon was down to just two big blinds and lost it a couple of hands later, while "supafishh" also busted during Kwon's demise.
Complete chip counts from the 11 remaining players have been provided below, with "TheTerminator1" and Ryan "Whosyourdoddy" Dodd rounding out the top three as the only seven-figure stacks.
