Meanwhile, Scott Hosbach has been on a tear all day long, moving in the other direction on the leaderboard.
Now, the script has suddenly flipped. Hosbach managed to bluff off heaps into Damick's aces full and while Hosbach's now out, Damick is back near the top of the counts again.

The day started out great for chip leader Alex Avdelopoulos. He took Sahar Khajavi's top-ten stack making a full house against her aces to add to his lead. Things went decidedly downhill from there.
Minutes ago, the downswing ended at the bottom when he got in 250,000 chips preflop with versus Brian Dugan's jacks.
The jacks held and while the start-of-the-chip leader is out, Dugan joins the leaders with 30 players remaining, closing in on the second break of the day.

Paul Zakamarko opened from middle position with about 300,000 behind. When it got to chip leader Brian Healy in the small blind, he pushed all in.
Blake Napierala had two black aces in the big blind and 880,000 in chips. He called! Zakamarko mucked and Healy had the .
Blake's cruised to the massive double up on a board that even gave him the salt-in-the-wound set.
Stop me if you've heard this before, but Blake Napierala is now leading after picking up aces in the dream spot for all the chips.
Healy is still in with a healthy 800,000 and they're dropping like flies around here, down to 18 and at the final two tables.
