Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Four players checked down a board with three overs to Turkey Thugs star Paul Butski's eights.

16 left now. Six more bustouts and that's a wrap.

Tighten The Noose

[user127999]

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

They've tightened up here in Level 12 and with just two more eliminations to come before the flight is through, no one is ready to risk it.

It appears the short stacks are shoving over wide opens at just the right time and pot control is being played carefully every time they go to the streets.

Either way, no one wants to be next out and after a speedy day, these 12 remaining are letting the blinds catch up a little.

You Know What Time It Is

[user127999]

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Throughout the day, John Fiorella must have asked half a dozen times what time play would wrap up.

The answer for Fiorella is 4:34 p.m.

He finally relented with the short stack and is headed out the door. A Minute later another player busted and 10 remain, stopping play.

They will bag and tag and we will have the chip counts and a short recap upcoming.
