DeRubeis Stumps Stemp

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

Silvio DeRubeis is a player now after taking all John Stempien's chips in dominating fashion.

They got it in preflop with Stempien on {a-}{10-} and DeRubeis holding the heavily favored {a-}{k-}. A {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop gave Stempien chop outs, but the {q-Clubs} turn and {8-Clubs} river could not save him.

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

A massive cooler just sent Thomas Clayton to the rail and Buck Ramsay soaring above the rest of the field.

Ramsay made it 14,000 from the button. Clayton three-bet from the small blind, making it 29,000. Ramsay bumped it to 65,000 and Clayton five-bet, putting in 170,000.

Ramsay six-bet jammed his 600,000-plus total and Clayton called off the 270,000 he had behind.

Ramsay: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Clayton; {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, taking Clayton with it and handing the hot-running Ramsay a massive lead.

Up River(s)

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

A huge heater over the eighteenth level has Ryan Rivers contending heading into the nineteenth.

He started with 120,000 in chips and now has it up close to 600,000.

Rivers doubled with top pair over a flush draw, won a flip with {a-}{q-} over {10-}{10-}, hit a set of jacks over one shorty shoving {a-}{7-} and now sits only under chip leader Buck Ramsay on the leader board.

A 10-minute color-up break starts now before play resumes with Level 19.

Torrance Rises

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Nathan Torrance
Nathan Torrance

Nathan Torrance has risen from relative obscurity into contention here thanks to one big hand.

It was a classic showdown with Torrance calling one player's all in move holding {k-}{k-}. The aggressor had {a-}{k-} and after Torrance faded an ace, he shot up and over the 500,000 mark.

Nablo Done On The Bubble

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Jason Nablo
Jason Nablo

Everything went wrong for Jason Nablo today and he just bubbled the bubble.

After bluffing off a ton of chips to Kyle Rzeszutek when Rzeszutek called him down with third pair, Nablo just shipped Rzeszutek the rest.

Nablo got it in with the {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for his last 75,000 and Rzeszutek looked him up with the {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}. Sixes held on an {a-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades} board and with Nablo's exit, play has moved to hand-for-hand on the money bubble.

Deskovic Bubbles

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Josh Deskovic
Josh Deskovic

Hand-for-hand did not last long as Josh Deskovic shipped it in with {a-}{8-} and ran into Ryan Rivers' tens.

Deskovic found no love on an {a-}{q-}{j-}{10-}{X-} board and the remaining players are all in the money at the final three tables.

They are taking a quick break before play resumes.

DeRubeis Clips Napierala

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Silvio DeRubeis sent Blake Napierala to the cage to pick up a min-cash straight off the break.

Napierala shoved the {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and got looked up by DeRubeis on {a-}{j-}. A four on the flop was good for Napierala, but an ace on the river did him in.
