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

.
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.
