James Morin blew up in Level 8 and now has the chip lead into Level 9.

"I made a couple of dumb calls and got lucky," he told PokerNews.

One of those apparently included calling it off with top pair versus 'Kid Karma' John Stempien's bottom two and finding trip kings on the river to bust him.

Morin's now on 150,000 and counting.
