Nolan Heats Up
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Robert Nolan has heated things up over the last level or so, getting up and over the 100,000-chip mark.
The biggest hand saw him drag a 60,000-chip pot flopping a set of queens against a nut flush draw. Not only did the flush miss, but Nolan managed to make a full house.
It appears he has the chip lead now.

At It Again
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
After building big stacks multiple times in earlier flights only to bust out late, Rich Giambra is taking another shot tonight.
Closing in on the later levels his stack is on the rise after getting all in moments ago in a classic cooler situation with 
against one player's 
.
Giambra's rockets held on a 
run out.

Canadian Champion
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Milton, Ontario, Canada's Mike Bromley got no love from the dealers early and busted his first bullet real fast.
This second one has been considerably better with Bromley picking up 
not once, but twice, getting them in against pocket sevens and pocket queens to build what is now an 80,000-chip stack.
