Down They Fall
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
We've lost nearly two-thirds of the field already in Event #1. Echoes of "all-in" are circulating the poker room as many players are finding themselves shorter and shorter with every blind increase — and they're climbing quickly. Each player started with 15,000 chips, which would equal about 12 big blinds at this point of the tournament. Several players have two options before the flop right now — shove or fold.

Time for Dinner
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
We've completed 11 levels and the players are now on their dinner break. As it stands right now, Mitch Polanski is the leader going into the break with 41 players remaining, but the dangerous Randy Pfeifer isn't far behind. We'll be back in 45 minutes!

Nablo Eliminates Kaplin, Drake
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Leo Kaplin opened to 5,500 from early position and Chris Drake shoved for 26,000 from middle position, Action folded over to Jason Nablo in the small blind, and he moved all in for more than 60,000. Kaplin sighed, thought for a moment, and called all in for just under 30,000 total.
Drake: 
Nablo: 
Kaplin: 
Nablo's pair was in front and he improved further on the 
flop. Kaplin picked up outs to a straight, but the 
turn and 
river improved Nablo to a full house, effectively eliminating the other two players.
Nablo has around 115,000 and is among the leaders
