Falling Fast

[user127999]

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

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.

This Much is Trieu

[user127999]

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

One hand after getting it in with a set against an under-pair then chopping when the board flushed, Kimlong Trieu moved into chip boss position getting the same player to pay him off after making trip aces.

Now down to 28 players and three tables remaining Trieu has over 80,000.
