Pelton Building Skyscrapers
Level 16
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
There was around 150,000 in the pot on a board reading 
with heads-up action between Chan Pelton in the big blind and Brandon Waalen, who was under the gun. Chan had a bet of 80,000 in front of him and Waalen was deep in consideration as the other six tables awaited the hand to end. He eventually settled on a call.
"Straight," said Pelton, tabling 
for a backdoor six-high straight. Waalen sent his cards to the muck and the pot was shipped to Chan, who has numerous piles of chips stacked in a manner that is beginning to look like a city skyline and looking like around 900,000.

Level 16
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

. Pelton called and the two waited for play to finish on the remaining tables. Once all hands were finished, cards were tabled.
Vic Peppe: 
Chan Pelton: 
Peppe's top pair was out in front of Pelton's middle pair and he was in great shape for a double. The turn came 
to give him one last card to sweat, which fell 
to secure the double and result in the bubble continuing with Level 16 coming to a close.

Phil Mader: 
The flop 
and turn 
were of no help to Dennehey, who found himself with one last chance at staying alive. The river was his gin card, coming

Bohn Bursts the Bubble, Cooks Kelly
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
There were three all-in preflop situations simultaneously and two of them ended up resulting in calls. Kevin Kelly was all in for the last of his chips under the gun and Blake Bohn gave him action in the cutoff.
Kevin Kelly: 
Blake Bohn:
Kelly was ahead but the flop 
gave Bohn a pair of kings. He still had 12 outs between the remaining spades and aces in the deck but did not find any on the turn 
and river to be eliminated from the tournament.

Derek Mcmaster: 
Chan Pelton: 
Mcmaster faded the two remaining nines in the deck as the board ran out 
and stayed alive as the bubble burst, taking the tournament down to 54 players.
