Jeff Williams Down to 12,500

A player opens the pot from middle position and Jeff "yellowsub86" Williams makes the call from late position. The big blind also calls and they see a flop of {6-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {2-Diamonds}.

The big blind checks and the original raiser bets pot for 8,500. Williams takes his time before announcing that he is all in. The big blind gets out of the way and the other player makes the call for his tournament life.

Jeff Williams: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}
Opponent: {8-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {2-Spades}

The turn is the {4-Spades} and the river brings the {A-Hearts} allowing the middle position player's hand to hold up.

After the hand, the big blind berates the winning player for raising with his hand. He doesn't seem to care and quietly rakes in the pot.

Level 10

The tournament has reached the last level of the night.

95 players remain, 14 until the money is reached. Action slowed last level, but there is still a chance to break the bubble before the night is through.

Mercier Picks Off Another - Extends Chip Lead

A player holding {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {K-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} is all in against Jason Mercier after a flop of {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {4-Hearts} . Mercier is behind with {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {6-Hearts} but can catch a heart, king, queen or ten to take the lead.

The {K-Hearts} falls on the turn giving the all in player a set, but Mercier the heart flush.

A meaningless {3-Diamonds} comes on the river and Mercier knocks out yet another player.

He has a large chip lead over the rest of the field with 223,000.
