Good Starts for Bronshtein, Emmel

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Players are back in their seats and Level 4 is underway.

We noticed earlier that 2012 WSOP Main Event 23rd-place finisher Yuval Bronshtein had joined the field, and saw he had a productive first two hours to build a stack up over 40,000 in the early going.

We were about to share his good fortune and designate him an early chip leader, but then we saw Matthew Emmel of Charlotte, North Carolina sitting with a stack of just under 55,000 to begin the new level, the biggest we've seen thus far.
