Hardcastle Stacks Up more than 700,000

Lyle Bateman

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jack Hardcastle is still stacking up. The entire board of was on the felt, and Hardcastle shoved a stack that covered the short-stacked Chris Dowling.

Dowling dropped deep into the tank, and thought about the spot for more than five minutes. He finally mucked his hand, and the table asked Hardcastle to show a card. "I don't think there's a good one to show," he said with a smile as he raked in the big pot to chip up to well over 700,000.

Still on the Bubble

Lyle Bateman

Level 15 : 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The Main Event is still playing on the bubble. They've played five hands now, and there have been two all ins with calls, but in both cases the short stack doubled up and the bubble remained intact. Action continues hand for hand.

Level: 16

Blinds: 3,000/6,000

Ante: 6,000

Still Bubble Time

Lyle Bateman

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

Hand for hand has been going on for awhile now, and while there's been plenty of chances to burst the bubble, in each and every case, the short stack has either been ahead and held, or got there for the double. They've been taking three minutes off the clock every hand, and at this rate, barring a bustout, the dinner break will start after eight more hands.

Two More Hands till Dinner

Lyle Bateman

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

Action is still hand for hand in the Main Event, and no one wants to be the bubble in this one. The clock is now showing 1:48 left in Level 16, so they'll play this hand plus one more, then take an hour off for dinner, assuming all 40 players survive the next hand.

Full Chip Count from Dinner (full)

Lyle Bateman

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

They come back from dinner in 10 minutes to Level 17 with blinds at 4,000/8,000/8,0000. Jack Hardcastle still has the biggest stack, but its shrunk a bit since the last count.

Action will still be hand for hand when they return from dinner, as they are still on the money bubble.
