Big Slick
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
Thomas Fleming just shot up the leaderboard busting Shawn Wilmot Jr's second bullet in the process.
Fleming limped and was joined by another player before Wilmot shipped it in for just over 12,000.
Joe Charish cold-called from the button and Fleming matched it as well. The flop came down 
and Fleming piled it in, pushing Charish off his hand and the cards were revealed. Fleming held 
having out-flopped Wilmot's 
.
Blanks on the turn and river ended Wilmot's day.

Bonzai Boncore
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
Facing a Jody Peterson raise, John Jemiolo shipped it in, but Mike Boncore woke up with a hand in the big blind and made the call for his tournament life.
Peterson folded and it was Jemiolo's fives against Boncore's 
. The 
flop was safe for Jemiolo, but the 
turn was anything but. The river locked up the double for Boncore and chopped early leader Jemiolo down to size.

A Race To The Door
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
The board now reads 107 total entries into the event's ninth level.
But as fast as they enter, they exit. The remaining field is now less than half that number standing at 46 and dropping.
Laying Down The Law
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Toronto, Canada's Tom Law has just leapfrogged Jody Peterson to get to the top of the chip counts.
Just a few hands after Peterson was moved to Law's table he picked up pocket kings, but Law managed to crack them with pocket deuces, flopping a set.
