End of Day; Players Bag
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
With the elimination of Florian Pesce, play has stopped as the remaining 11 players have bagged up to return tomorrow at noon.
Stay tuned a recap of the day's events and seat draw will be released shortly!
Florian Pesce Eliminated as Bubble Bursts
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Florian Pesce moved all in preflop and was called by sleepy Steve Hoang to put him at risk.
Florian Pesce: A♥10♦
Steve Hoang: Q♣10♣
Pesce threw up his hands when he saw what he was up against, for he knew the queen-ten was a hot hand tonight.
True to form, the queen appeared right in the window of the Q♥K♥3♣ flop to give Hoang the lead, and the runout of 4♣7♣ further improved him to a flush to send out Pesce on the stone bubble.
"Should have just stayed asleep," Pesce muttered as he made his way to the exit.

Bubble Time!
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Level 14: Blinds 3,000/6,000/6,000
With the elimination of Nick Wehr in 13th place, the remaining 12 players are now on the money/bag bubble and hand-for-hand is now in effect.
Howard Falls to Dixon's Dirty River
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
After everyone folded around and Stan Dixon limped from the small blind, Taylor Howard moved all in from the big blind and was snap-called by Dixon to put him at risk.
Taylor Howard: A♠2♥
Stan Dixon: J♣9♣
Howard went into this battle ahead with his ace high, and he scored a favorable flop of A♥3♥4♣ for top pair and a straight draw. But then the turn came the J♦ to give Dixon a pair...
"Oh, don't do it," Howard pleaded as he stood up, but it was too late as the 9♦ peeled off on the river to give Dixon two-pair to knock him out near the bubble.
