Bonomo Won't Be Adding Any POY Points in Event #25
Level 10
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Stud Hi-Low
Justin Bonomo, who currently leads the 2014 WSOP Player of the Year race, has been nursing a short stack for awhile, and his time just ran out courtesy of John Lane. It happened in the last hand of Level 9 when Lane completed with the 
and then Bonomo raised to 1,200. Lane called and then bet fourth. Bonomo moved in for 900 total, and Lane called.
Bonomo: 
/ 
/ 
Lane: 
/ 
/ 
Bonomo ended up with kings and jacks, but it was no good as Lane made a better two pair in aces and sevens.

Bounty For Puchkov
Level 10
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Stud Hi-Low
On the table of Vanessa Selbst, Konstantin Puchkov has had a few roller coaster levels as we saw him with as low as 5,000 and as high as 15,000 chips. He managed to almost double that in the last two hours or so, just now he knocked out a short stack when completing with the showing.
The short stack moved all in for 1,600 with the 
showing and had a pair of nines until sixth. He threw the final card towards the dealer to declare defeat and the Russian scooped the pot.

If I Had Nichols for Every Time I've Heard That
Level 10
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
We just did a walk through the tournament floor to find the biggest stack in the room. Right now that man is Brian Nichols, who is sitting with a hefty 75,000. That number could go up or down by the end of the night though as there are still 30 minutes left on Day 1.

Friedman Wins a Nice One
Level 10
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Stud Hi-Low
We picked up the action on sixth street when Allyn Jaffrey Shulman bet and Adam Friedman called. When Shulman checked seventh, Friedman perked up.
"Let's go, I'm good," Friedman said before betting. Shulman called.
Friedman: 
/
Shulman: 
/ 
Shulman had aces up, but it was no good as Friedman held trip jacks. Neither player had a low, so Friedman was pushed the whole pot.

Aces Up For Selbst
Level 10
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Omaha Hi-Low
Vanessa Selbst made it 1,600 to go and Konstantin Puchkov called on the button, so did the big blind for the additional 800. On the 
flop, the big blind folded when Selbst bet and Puchkov called. Selbst then checked the 
turn and Puchkov led for 1,200 to get a call.
The 
river completed the board and Selbst reluctantly check-called 1,600 to get shown 
for fives and queens as well as a busted gutshot and low draw. Selbst tabled 
for aces up and scooped the pot.

Three More Hands
Level 10
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
The clock has been stopped and we will be playing three more hands and then bag and tag. Brian Nichols still seems to be the chip leader even though he lost some change and there is half a dozen opponents around 50,000 or more as well that may still jump into the top spot.
