Two More Chunky Stacks
![[user169505]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
George Wolff and Ryan Fair are both seated next to each other with stacks in excess of 100,000. Ryan Fair is in a very talkative mood as well. Although he reckons we have bokked George Wolff by asking him what his name is.

The board ran out 
giving Senti a double up and another shot at making it deep in this event. Senti hasn't cashed in a WSOP event since his Main Event run and in this tournament he's looking to get very close tonight!

AE Jones is Dominating
Intrepid reporter Happy_Freaked just broke the news that Aaron Jones had moved his mammoth stack over to a new table he was sharing with Kyle Weir, Daniel Alaei and Matt Stout. In that report Happy_Freaked stated that Matt Stout had been slowly chipping up all day. Well Stout has to start all over again thanks to Mr Jones!
We only saw the tail-end of the action but can piece it together with a little help from Jones himself. The flop was 
and Jones check-raised to 6,000 after Stout had bet 2,000. Stout made the call and we had a turn card of . Jones bet 12,000 and Stout made the call. On the river we saw the 
and Jones bet 17,500 and Stout called. Jones turned over 
and Stout mucked his hand.
Jones now has 235,000, whilst Stout has 41,000.

Jones Soaring, Winner Weir Also There
Aaron Jones was sitting at the table with Kevin Saul and right after winning a small pot against him this table broke. It took Jones almost a minute to rack up his massive stack and we counted it at just over 200,000. Jones moved a couple of tables over and sat down next to Daniel Alaei.
Jones is out of position against Alaei and one seat further down we found Kyle "First-Eagle" Weir. Weir won the biggest Sunday Million ever on PokerStars back in December of last year. The Toronto resident won a staggering $1.1 million beating more than 62,000 players in the 10th Anniversary Sunday Million. Today he's also doing good and with just 80 minutes of play left he has well over twice the average stack.
Matt Stout is also at this table and he seems to be slowly chipping up all day.

Perrins, Kelly and Akenhead are Out and Young Loses a Pot!
Level 9
: 300/600, 75 ante
Dan Kelly has been eliminated without us casting eyes on it and we have also seen James Akenhead leave the room (eliminated by Kyle Julius).
James Pritchard is now on 100,000 after winning the following hand.
We joined the action on a flop of 
and Pritchard check-called a 1,175 c-bet from the big blind. The turn 
was checked through and then we saw the 
on the river. This time Pritchard took the betting lead; betting 2,200, and it was enough to win the hand.
Matt Perrins has been eliminated. He moved all-in with the mighty and was called by his opponents 
. No fairytale for Perrins and he was out.
Jordan Young proved that he can lose a hand. He raised from the hijack seat, making it 1,350 to play, and the big blind moved all-in for 6,550. Young laughed out loud before making the call and showing 
and his opponent revealed . The board ran out 
and Young took a little hit. He now has 93,750.
Liv Boeree Doubles Up
Liv Boeree, and her one good leg, has just doubled up over at Table #4.
There was a raise from under the gun to 1,200, Boeree called on the button and the big blind also called. The flop was , the big blind checked, the initial raiser c-bet for 1,700, Boeree called as did the big blind. The turn card was the and this time Boeree had the opportunity to bet once checked to. She took it, bet 4,100 and only the initial raiser called. On the river we had the 
and the initial raiser checked very quickly. Boeree placed her chips in one tower and moved them all-in. The initial raiser asked for a count - it was 11,575 - and he made the call. Boeree flipped over 
for the winning hand and we couldn't see the initial raisers hand because the dealer accidentally mucked it.

The average stack is 44,710, or 74 big blinds, as we have 100 minutes of play left in the day.
Chris Moore Rising
We just caught the action when Damien Lhommueau was facing a raise to 6,500 from Chris Moore. The Frenchman had invested 2,800 chips from the big blind and it seemed like Moore had four-bet from the cutoff. Lhommueau tanked for a bit and called.
The flop came down 
and Lhommueau grabbed some chips and slid in a 8,650 bet. "How much is that?" Moore asked with a big question mark on his face. He seemed thrown off by this bet but after a solid minute he decided to move all in. Lhommueau didn't seem to pleased but called right away.

| Damien Lhommueau | |
The board ran out holding up Moore's hand and Dan O'Brien helped Moore and the dealer to count out his 26,500 chip stack. O'Brien is still hovering around the average while Lhommueau saw his stack seriously dented.
