The Leaders Emerge

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Level: 10

Blinds: 600/1,200

Falling Fast

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Kim Tipton
Kim Tipton

Yet another one of the early chip leaders has bowed out here in level 9.

This time it was Kim Tipton getting it in with an open-ender versus top two and failing to get there.

The good news for Tipton is he still has a stack from Day 1a to bring into Day 2 Thursday.

Royally Flushed

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

On a downswing since joining the early chip leaders, Jim Bucki has now gone broke.

He did it in style, however, turning two pair with {q-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} versus {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} before his opponent rivered a Royal Flush to send him packing.

The Trials of Travell

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Forced to fire a second bullet just moments ago, Travell Thomas is already back in contention.

Having earned a quick double almost immediately, he picked up even more chips defending his big blind against a 2,200 open from the button.

They both checked the {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop, but when the {q-Spades} came down on the river, Thomas forced his foe to fold with an 1,800-chip bet.

Level: 9

Blinds: 500/1,000

Ante: 100

Breaking Bad

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

The players listed below have come and gone.

Three-Way Action

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

William Balcom used {a-}{10-} to beat {k-}{10-} and {j-}{j-} all in preflop.

He spiked an ace on the turn to bust two shorter stacks and jump into contention for a deep run with over 50,000 in chips now.

Level: 8

Blinds: 400/800

Ante: 100
