Now that everyone is in the money, the players are on a 10-minute break so they can go call their mothers and share the good news. Or because it's the end of the level. They'll come back and play two more levels before dinner.
No sooner had players been giving instructions to stay at their seats during the bubble than did the bubble burst. There was an eruption of applause as we heard one player mention, "We've all got a one-in-three hundred chance of winning a bracelet now."

D'Angelo is over 160,000 now.
Vincent Vanderfluit made an early position raise to 1,800 just before a player in middle position went all in for 16,200. A few players thought about making the call before action folded back to Vanderfluit who reluctantly placed a call into the pot and said, "I've got nines."

Ryan D'Angelo is currently sitting atop the leaderboard. He's also now sitting to the direct left of Brent "Astrolux85" Roberts.
