Change Coming
Level 13
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Rochester, NY's Steve Braverman has taken hold of the chip lead as we move into the late levels.
He made a straight in a massive pot moments ago to climb within 10,000 of 200,000 and now sits on top of a pack of players above the 100,000 mark.
Braverman claimed to have turned that straight, although it came four cards to Broadway on the river and he pushed in over a bet, forcing a fold before mucking.

Down To 40
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
They're down to 40 from 159 entries and playing at four ten-handed tables.
Should they lose 21 more players over the next couple of levels, leaving 12 percent of the field remaining, play will be stopped and the 19 left will bag and tag headed to Day 2 tomorrow.
If not, they will play down to ten minutes left in Level 14 and draw to determine a number of hands left to play.

That's The Way You Gotta Do It
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Peter Raimondi led, Jason Nablo three-bet and Mike Crystal shoved in with the shorter stack. By the time the rest of the preflop action was over, everybody was all in and the hands were turned on their backs.
Nablo: 
Raimondi: 
Crystal: 
It was a classic three-way all in match up and although he was ahead, Nablo started calling for an ace before the 
flop. He continued doing so through the 
turn, and karma finally caught up with him on the 
river.
Raimondi scooped with the set and both Crystal and Nablo were sent packing.
"What am I gonna do, call for no ten and then a ten comes," Nablo said on the way out the door. "I guess that's what happened anyway, but that's the way you gotta do it."
