Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
Paolo Lombardo has grabbed the chip lead heading into the last level before the 45-minute dinner break.
He four-bet nines, and when his heads-up opponent five bet shoved aces, he called it off and binked a nine.
In the meantime, a suddenly assertive Brett Collson is picking up pot after pot with some well timed aggression.
A little earlier he got aces in a battle of the blinds with Kurtis Boutelle and showed the goods after getting one bet in pre and continuing on the flop. Then, he was just seen firing away trough three streets on a 
board, getting a fold on the river to pick up another 35,000 on his way to a spot near the top of the counts.
