Matt Maggard is currently second in chips with over 115,000. But as tables have broken he's gotten the short end of the stick of player's moving to his table. Seated directly on his left are Michael Binger, JP Kelly and Vitaly Lunkin.
Maggard has to be aware that three sharks are eyeing his tall chip stack.
The frantic pace set in the earlier eight levels has slowed down considerably. Players were busting faster than we could keep up with and tables were disappearing. With both the money bubble and the end of the day looming we're thinking making the money is about a 50/50 chance at this point.
So we came rushing up to the table when we saw about seven players standing up around it. We don't know the preflop action but the result was three players were all in and had their cards tabled.
Fabio Breitfuss:
Dave James:
Unknown:
The board ran and James was the shortest stack and tripled up, the unknown player was busted and Breitfuss took the large sidepot.
