[user127999]

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

Rich Cadwallader heads into the break holding the chip lead.

He woke up with aces in the big blind when one player shoved 40,000 in front. Aces held there and he's used a little muscle to build since then.

[user127999]

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

Two players have pushed up over 200,000 and into contention now.

The first was Tomasz Werstler, who opened suited from the cutoff and got one call. He led the flop for 15,000 and was called.

Werstler bet 30,000 on the brick-like turn, and when his opponent shoved for close to 100,000 total, he called. Top two held for Werstler.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, Warren Hart got it all in with jacks versus aces, flopping a jack and turning quads to crack them.

They're both on 225,000 and in the top five, but Jeffery Hobrecker now leads.

He got it in with on a ten-high board against bottom set, but the run out gave him a full house and a 250,000-chip stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jeffery Hobrecker	250,000	250,000
Warren Hart	225,000	64,000

Blinding Away

[user127999]

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

Pat Tighe still leads despite still being at work. He should be here within the hour, but is blinding away as we speak.

In the meantime, Jerry Calvaneso just became Andy Spears's latest victim, flopping a straight against two pair in a 160,000-chip pot.

Spears turned a boat and is now back in contention for that lead.

Plus, Bruce Pace is out, blowing up a six-figure stack as quick as he built it.

The Pace Quicken; Spears Drops A Hundo

[user127999]

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Bruce Pace joined the six-figure stack club in the first level winning all of one player's chips in two hands.

First he got it in with against before hitting a jack on the river. Then he cracked the same player's with , hitting a on the river.

Pace has it quickly up to 115,000, is above average and loving the river right now.

In the meantime, Pat Tighe now leads and isn't even here yet. Andy Spears fell out of the top spot doubling up a bunch of short stacks. The first when he flopped a gutshot and was priced in to call. One pair held for the shorty there and when you add up the others, he's down about 100,000. Spears' chip count is bound to fluctuate a bunch today, as he plays a lot of hands and opens a ton of pots.

Spears was opening for the fifth hand in a row when he got involved in a pot that sent him soaring into the lead late last night. It seems that hand will be the stuff of legend around here for quite a while and we now have the details:

Spears led for 5,300 from early position at 1,200/2,400 with . A player behind made it 12,000. The small blind who had been talking about the fact he bagged in an earlier flight, and was playing to build a big stack or bust, flatted. Spears re-raised to 33,000. The player behind made it 80,000 and the small blind pushed all in for 110,000.

Spears pushed all in having them both covered and the player behind folded. The small blind had and queens held for Spears to give him a massive lead coming into the day without even a sweat.
