With the board showing 
and about 11,000 in the middle, a player in middle position checked, then Sam Grizzle fired six yellow (1,000) chips for a bet of 6,000. His opponent tanked for about a minute before folding.
Grizzle continues to maintain an above average stack as we near the money bubble bursting.

Mike Flanagan is currently one of those nursing a short stack and hoping to last long enough to make it into the money. It appears Flanagan may have already guaranteed himself a payday, however, by being the last player remaining sporting an Onnit sticker.
Per the Onnit Labs Last Sticker Standing Contest, the last of the group participating in the promotion is due a cool $1,000 — the cost of the buy-in — for making it further than anyone else.

Just 500 are left from the starting field of 4,620, which means we're only 32 eliminations away from the cash bubble bursting.
J.J. Liu opened fore 1,700 from middle position, and it folded to the big blind who reraise-shoved all in for 9,200 total. Liu thought for a bit, then called, tabling 
while her opponent showed 
.
The flop came 
and Liu's hand was still best. But the turn was the 
and river the 
, and Liu's stack takes a hit as we cross the midpoint of Level 10.

We caught up with the action on a 
flop, where Jake Cody was in a heads-up pot.
Cody's opponent fired 1,900 from early position and Cody made the call from late position. Both players then proceeded to check down on the 
turn and river. Cody flipped over 
for a rivered queens-full of kings and his opponent mucked.
Cody lost a portion of his stack from the last time we checked, but he is back up to 60,000.

Phil Ivey has been absent since players returned from break. It appears that he has taken his seat over at Event 60: $10,000 2-7 Draw Lowball to play there for a while. We'll keep an eye on his stack as it slowly gets blinded and ante'd down.
For now, at least, Ivey is sitting on 35,000.

A player in middle position raised to 1,700, and Owen Crowe called from the button. The short-stacked player in the big blind then reraised all in, and when the original raiser bumped it up to 10,000, Crowe let go of his hand.
The short-stacked player showed 
and his opponent 
, and the aces held to lessen our field by one.
"I don't want to deal with him," said the winner, wagging a finger in Crowe's direction after the busted player left, a post-hand explanation of his reraise to isolate. Crowe nodded and smiled while the table eyed his stack, all silently noting that he alone at the table has the capability of knocking out all of the others.

We caught up with the action after all the chips were already in the middle and hands were revealed. Thomas Conway had the largest stack and two other opponents were all in against him.
Conway: 
Opponent #1:
Opponent #2: 
Conway had his opponent crushed and the 
board changed nothing. Conway scooped the sizable pot and eliminated two players in one fell swoop.
Conway, who has already made two final tables this year, is up to 55,000 and is looking to make another deep run.
