With Turner's elimination at the hands of Thor Hansen, we are on the money bubble. Play will be hand-for-hand until one more player is eliminated.

Notes from the Break

[user25067]

During the break, Mike Sexton told us that he had A-2-3 to start three times during the last level, but had to get out each time when he bricked up on fourth and fifth.

He also noted that Eli Elezra is relentlessly bullying his table with his big stack, playing "loose as a goose" and is catching a lot of cards against very dangerous boards.

After Sexton and Miami John Cernuto got into a discussion about their woes versus Eli, Mike could be heard calling for "cocktails!"

Barbara Lewis Can't Lose

[user25067]

Wei Kai Chang made a 7-5 low and a set of sevens, scooping a pot against Barbara Lewis. That loss took Lewis almost down to the felt, with only 3,300 left in her stack.

She went all in on her next hand vs. Chang and and her pair of queens held up to scoop. Then, she played the very next hand she was dealt, scooped again with aces and eights, and was suddenly back up to 10,000.

Shortly thereafter, Lewis and Chang tangled in a fourth hand -- only this time she made a wheel on him! She is up to 40K and tells us of her comeback, "This is going to go down in history!"

The Barbara Lewis Comeback

[user25067]

Barbara Lewis made two pair -- kings and queens -- on the river against John Cutter's lesser two pair of sevens and nines. Lewis has made a remarkable comeback since going to dinner break as the tournament's shortest stack -- and right on the money bubble! Her stack is up to 25,000.
