Six-Figure Stacks

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Joseph Elia
Joseph Elia

Joseph Elia just joined the ever-growing group of those with six-figure stacks.

Three-handed, one player bet 8,500 on a {j-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{a-Hearts} flop and got one call before Elia bumped it to 20,000. The original bettor folded, but the caller shipped it in with the {3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}.

Elia called off with the {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and held on a {9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} turn and river combo.

The Jason Nablo Files

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Jason Nablo
Jason Nablo

Jason Nablo continues to climb the leaderboard with a relentless run of good cards, good calls and good fortune.

Aces held versus {j-}{10-} in one spot, and he managed to pick off an ill-timed Nick Walker bluff with a small pair, although Walker reportedly got the message and gave up on the river.

Nablo had it up to 120,000 and despite a slight dip, he's still trending upwards.

RIce Rises

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Alex Rice
Alex Rice

The biggest beneficiary of the early Mike Rellinger blow up has moved into the chip lead now.

Alex Rice played a hand with {q-}{9-} versus {9-}{9-} on a {5-}{6-}{8-}{q-}{6-} getting about as much value out of it as he could to move up to 150,000.

In the meantime, Rellinger slipped quietly back into the room, reentered, and is at a late-reg table in the back trying to fly under the radar.
