Mess With The Bull, Get The Horns

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Marvin Baker
Marvin Baker

Marvin Baker is on the positive grind and back into contention again.

He recently picked up a side pot in a relatively small three-way all-in hand with {6-}{6-} over {a-}{8-}, losing the main to {8-}{8-}.

With that hand, Baker moved to precisely 400,000.

Tighe Bubbles The Bubble

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Pat Tighe
Pat Tighe

In the hand right before hand-for-hand, Pat Tighe called a 20,000-chip Andy Spears open and a third player came along to a {j-}{10-}{3-} flop. It checked to Spears and he continued for 35,000. Only Tighe called.

The {j-} turn brought checks from both, but Spears shoved the {4-} river with his {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} trips and Tighe called, mucked and left.

The Bubble Busts Quick

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Hand-for-hand play started with 46 players on the money bubble. The clock was paused for one hand and a shorty got it in with {k-}{q-} four ways.

He got out-flopped, out-turned and out-rivered to bust on the bubble and the remaining field is in the money.

Pachla Flushed; Werstler #Winning

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Alicia LaPorte Pachla

Tomasz Werstler just busted Alica LaPorte Pachla in a massive 560,000-chip pot, vaulting him into a spot near the top of the counts as the bubble looms.

They got the money in on an {8-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop with Pachla holding the {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flush and Werstler on the {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} set.

The {7-Diamonds} turn changed little, but the {8-Hearts} river gave Werstler quads, all the chips and Pachla's tournament life.

Balcom's Big Day

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Bill Balcom
Bill Balcom

Bill Balcom has emerged as a threat to Marcy Jo Phillips' lead.

He picked up pocket aces an amazing five times today before winning two 220,000-chip pots.

The first came when he had queens all-in over jacks and the second one was a flip with {a-}{k-} outdrawing {j-}{j-}.

He's got close to 500,000 now and a spot just under Phillips on the leader board as play inches closer and closer to the 45-player money bubble.

The Mamas & The Papas

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Marcy Jo Phillips
Marcy Jo Phillips

Marcy Jo Phillips has a huge stack after a massive rush heading into the break.

She had kings over queens, jacks over {a-}{j-}, and turned quad threes over {a-}{k-} after an ace-high flop, to name just a few of the hands that have vaulted her up to an amazing 720,000 now.

She's got a final table stack before the bubble here and is absolutely crushing the field. It's all about Phillips right now and she's as giddy as a schoolgirl.

In the meantime, Alicia LaPorte Pachla has turned a little run good into a top ten stack as well, making Broadway, folding kings in a tough spot, and winning some key pots on the way to 270,000.

Plus, Pat Tighe just showed up to claim his once-230,000-plus stack. He starts the day with 160,000 after blinding off the first four levels.
