Frank Monaco

Frank Monaco has lost 60 pounds over the past year thanks to a good diet and some doctors advice.

He's also lost the last of his short stack now, ending a memorable run in 24th place after Kim Batka busted 25th, but before Barry Trembetzky took 23rd.

From The Ashes

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Peter Bogulski
Peter Bogulski

Local attention seeker Peter Bogulski has risen from the ashes on the bubble to a 300,000-chip stack.

This comeback for the ages started when he got it all in with kings versus jacks to double up. He picked up aces an orbit later and managed to extract some value.

A favorite to min-cash when the bubble burst, Bogulski's bucking the odds and looking to make an even deeper run now.

Needless to say, he's out and Wagner is the first player up and over one-million in chips now.

Maurice Sessum busted right before Padgett min-cashing as well.

Veerab Robs Monaco

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Jeffrey Hobrecker opened and Veerab Zakarian three-bet before Frank Monaco came way over the top, cold four-betting all in for over 400,000.

Hobrecker let it go, but Zakarian had the {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and made the call for his tournament life to create an 850,000-chip pot. Monaco had the {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and after missing the {9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} board, he now has less than one starting stack.

Zakarian joins the leaders after winning one of the biggest flips of the tournament so far.

Joseph [Removed:340] has moved into the lead and is closing in on the one-million chip mark right now.

He won two massive 400,000 chip pots, first picking off a bluff, then getting it all in after a preflop raising war with tens against ace-jack.

Tens held and he has heaps now into Level 20 with 27 left.

Visbisky Bubbles, Wagner Leads; Quads!

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

After check-calling bets on every street through a {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{a-Spades}{4-Spades}{j-Diamonds} board, Dan Wagner put Alex Visbisky in a tough spot.

He check-raised the river, putting Visbisky to a decision for his tournament life and 165,000 on the bubble. The Day 1a chip leader tanked it out as the hands on the other table finished up and a crowd gathered around.

Wagner bantered away with Visbisky, claiming he'd show if he called,. Finally, Visbisky claimed he hit the jack on the river and more and slid out a call. Wagner had it all, and all the way, turning over the {a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for quads.

Visbisky busted out of the money, everybody left in it will get something, they performed a redraw for seats at the final three tables and Wagner has the lead .
