Mark Roberts is starting to climb back into the thick of things here after busting Andy Ranaletti.
Ranaletti had the misfortune of running two jacks into Roberts' two queens. A board of bricks didn't even give Ranaletti a glimmer of hope.

Anne Jones started the day with just 95,000 in her stack. Now there's 450,000.
The stack started growing after she ran 
into and flopped three kings. Jones then cruised up the leaderboard without having to show too many hands.
Then, she busted a player with top two, getting in in with a massive combo draw and getting there. Jones now returns from the break as a contender.
In the meantime, Leo Kaplin has one million chips now, leading the 33 left by a lot with the money bubble fast approaching,
