It's Not a Lie If You Believe It
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Michael Castanza has vaulted into a spot at the top of the leaderboard with 33 left following a massive set up.
It was queens versus jacks versus his aces all in preflop. Castanza even hit another ace to put the final nail in Ted Blaszczak' coffin and double huge through recent upstart Tyler Nichols.
He's closing in on 400,000 now with the final four tables soon turning into just three.

Gates Again!
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Arthur Gates made it 10,000 to go and Rich Altemari looked him up from the small blind.
Altemari checked the 
flop, then shoved for 115,000 total when Gates bet 25,000. Gates called with the 
open ender and Altmeri had the best of it with his 
.
Things turned around for Gates when he made a better pair on the 
turn and he held through the 
river. With Altemari out, Gates has now opened up a big lead on the field.

Set Sail
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Maria Parlatore has righted the ship after a rough start.
She shoved 
on a jack high board to the turn and figured she was beat when Scott Szatkowski snap called.
Nope. Szatkowski had and an even rougher start to the day. He's on the rail now and Parlatore is back around where she started.

They're In The Money
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
The money bubble has busted with 46th Place going to Canadian Richie Bottenfield.
He ran queens into Kim Long Trieu's aces.
Everybody gets paid from here on out and they will play out the last few minutes of Level 14 before taking a break to color up the blacks.

Haynes Doubles On The Bubble
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Jim Haynes doubled through Jason Nablo with aces versus kings.
He even hit an ace on the flop for good measure. Truth be told, it didn't hurt Nablo too badly. He was almost at 300,000 before finding himself on the wrong end of that cooler.
It appears he will still take 220,000 and the lead into the next break. Speaking of breaks, this next one will likely be delayed for now.
They are on the money bubble with 46 players left and 6:54 to go in this level.
