Kiehl Runs Into Ciffa's Aces

[user153906]

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

It didn't take long since our last post for a player to be knocked out. Bob Kiehl was all in with against the pocket aces of Joe Ciffa. Kiehl actually picked up a gutterball straight draw on the turn, needing a ten on the river, and the on the river made Ciffa do a double-take before he realized he was safe.

Pace Slows

[user153906]

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Normally the action picks up quickly after the bubble bursts, but the deep structure of this tournament has resulted in zero eliminations since we reached the money. The average stack is more than 40 big blinds so most players still have a lot of room to maneuver.

As a side note, we've got 20 minutes until the dinner break.
