Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
The 31 players remaining are off on a 10-minute break with the money bubble looming. It should bust soon after they return with the start of Level 18.
Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Dan Wagner shoved over a Matt Shanahan 12,000-chip open and Shanahan called with jacks.
They went off to the races with Wagner on 
and he made a flush on a 
run out.
The double made Wagner healthy again on over 200,000 and left Shanahan with about one big. He got it in and rivered Broadway versus two pair soon after, but remains on life support.
Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Joseph Elia dragged a 75,000-chip pot, turning suited rags into a flush to bust one player and take a chunk out of another eager to do the same.
A few small pots later and he's joined the 300,000-plus club as Level 17 kicks off.

Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Alex Visbisky has moved firmly into the lead now after taking a chunk out of Andy Ranaletti.
Visbisky opened for 9,000 from early position, and after Rick Block called, Ranaletti defended his big blind. They all checked the 
flop, but Ranaletti fired 15,000 at the 
turn. Only Visbisky called and when Ranaletti checked the 
river, Visbisky bet 48,000.
Ranaletti called with two pair aces and jacks, but Visbisky had two queens, taking the pot with a rivered set.
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Thomas Mader has joined the group at the top of the counts, bringing chip leader Jeff Kandefer down to earth in the process.
First, Mader busted one short stack with about 45,000, who ran into his pocket tens. Then, he snatched a 160,000-chip pot off of Kandefer, making two pair aces and queens on the river, and forcing a fold after heaps went in on the turn.

Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
The day begins with a few short stacks hitting the rail out of the gate and Mike Rellinger coming back down to earth.
He ran a triple-barrel bluff, but could not get Hassan Jamil to fold ace high on a ten-high board with two sixes. They're both now mired in the pack just below the leaders.
