Another Early Riser

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Adam Dembrowski
Adam Dembrowski

Adam Dembrowski represents the latest zero to hero story here in Milwaukee after rising from under 100,000 in chips at the start of the day into the chip lead.

He's the first player to reach 400,000 after busting one short stack with kings over threes, then getting three streets of value with tens when he flopped a set to drag a 250,000-chip pot.

Alan Wehbi

Alan Wehbi has shot up to a spot among the chip leaders after one massive hand where he flopped top two in a three-way pot with {a-}{q-} and called all-in against one player with a flush draw.

The flush draw missed and he's now closing in on 400,000 in chips.

Alex Watts
Alex Watts

Alex Watts just made quick work of Christopher Belflower, sending him to the rail in two quick hands and vaulting into the chip lead.

First he made a straight to double through him, then they both made trip aces, but Watts' {a-}{k-} had Belflower's {a-}{9-} outkicked.

While Belflower has fallen short of the money, Watts is now on 500,000.

The Bubble Boy

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The bubble has burst and it was 2014 MSPT Columbus champ Mark Sandness busting just shy of the money.

He lost most of his stack helping triple up a player with jacks when he and a third man got it in against him both holding {a-}{q-}.

A couple hands later he was all in for an ante with {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} in a four-way pot that all three others players checked down on a {4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} board. Although Sandness made a pair one opponent held pocket sevens.
