Level 12 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Lexy Gavin just doubled up, her pocket threes besting her opponent's . She's back to 22,000 after the win.

Peter Pal is up to the 155,000 chip mark, which is in the upper echelon of chip stacks as Day 1b winds down.

Andreas Kniep, who's up to 213,000, is seated at the same table as JC Tran, a late entry who's coming of a win in the $3,250 High Roller yesterday.

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Daniel Kozakevich opened to 3,000 in early position, Adam Miller three-bet all in to 27,500 from the hijack, Ted Bui four-bet shoved over the top for 63,300, and Kozakevich folded pocket jacks face up.

Miller and Bui went heads-up to the showdown.

Adam Miller:
Ted Bui:

Board:

Miller's ace came in on the flop, and informed Bui that they're now even. Apparently Bui got the best of Miller in an earlier hand, and as of Level 12 both are still in the mix.
