Chip leader going into the day, Michiel Brummelhuis cruised through the early levels, steadily building his stack. It wasn't until the 16th level when he would give up the lead to well known internet pro Bryn Kenney.
Kenney carried the torch up until the money hit, surging to just under a million in chips after calling the all in of eventual bubble boy, Michael Pesek, with just middle pair.
Kenney, however, would give up his lead to current chip leader, John Kabbaj in a massive confrontation. Kabbaj called all in after Kenney made a fifth preflop raise; Kabbaj had pocket aces over Kenney's pocket kings. The aces held, and grabed over 20% of the chips in play.
He used the massive lead to continue to collect chips, ending the night with 2,026,000 - more than double that of the next closest player.
Play will resume tomorrow at 1pm PST where the final 14 will play down until a new champion is crowned. Come back tomorrow to follow all the action as it happens, live, at PokerNews.com
