After Kerry Shakura was eliminated minutes into level 13, we found our bubble boy in Deon Bowes, and he was eliminated in brutal fashion. The last of Bowes's chips were in the middle on fourth street, where he had a pair of aces against Alex Wice's four club draw. Wice picked up a pair of jacks on fifth street, then made two pair on sixth street. However, Bowes also picked up two pair with his aces and twos, and needed to dodge Wice's full house and flush draw outs on the river. Bowes failed to improve on the river, and Wice drew the to made a full boat on seventh street and knocked out Bowes on the bubble. For the remaining 40 players, they are now at least $2,612 richer.

We have reach the end of Level 12, and players are now on a 60-minute dinner break. We still have 42 players left, so the money bubble will have to burst after the players get some food.
On fifth street, Scott Seiver got the rest of the money in against Chad Brown and made quads by seventh street.
Seiver joked with his friends, "This is what I wait for. I wait for quads."
Seiver was our shortest stack with 7,000 but the double up gives him about 15,000 as we are just two away from the money.
Here are some counts right before our dinner break.
