It's 114 And Dropping Fast
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Level 15 starts the day with 114 on the board thanks to a few players bagging twice and taking advantage of the best-stack-forward provision.
However, that's bound to drop fast with a big number of double-up-or-go-home-early stack sizes in the mix.
The Pace Quicken; Spears Drops A Hundo
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.
A 15-minute color-up break starts now with the board reading 93 players left.

Blinding Away
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.

Gently Down The Stream
Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
My Stack App user Mike Rowe has jumped into contention after dragging a substantial three-way all in pot.
He has it up close to 200,000 now. The big hand started when he opened up with 
under the gun for 7,000. A player behind shoved 
for 35,000 and the big blind shoved 
having them both covered.
Rowe called all in, kings held, he's in the top three now, and the best way to update your chip count in this or any event remains the PokerNews My Stack App.
