Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

Brandon Meyers has mountains of chips after a superb start here in the $3,000 buy-in event. Meyers has already cashed three times at the 2014 World Series of Poker and is a good bet to make it number four if he keeps up his current pace.

Dobson Ousts Greenstein

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante
Barry Greenstein - Busted
Barry Greenstein - Busted

We noticed that Barry Greenstein's seat was empty so asked Ben Dobson, who is sitting at Greenstein's former table, if he saw what happened.

"Yes, I busted him!" said Dobson, telling us he'd raised with {4-}{4-} from the cutoff and Barry defended with {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Dobson hit a set on a flop with two hearts, the chips went into the middle, Dobson filled up on the turn and Greenstein was gone.

Wheeler and Moorman Flying High

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

Jason Wheeler and Chris Moorman have big stacks as the tournament progresses to the fifth level, which also happens to be the half way point. Moorman's accumulation of chips is most impressive considering he's sharing a table with Gaelle Baumann, Andrew Kichtenberger and Adam Levy among others.

Vamplew Wins Battle of the Blinds

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

David Vamplew bet 650 from the small blind on a {2-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} board and Amanda Musumeci called from the big blind.

The river brought the {A-Diamonds} into play and Vamplew bet 1,500. Musumeci pasued for around 40 seconds before calling, then mucking when Vamplew flipped the {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} onto their backs.

Dunst Takes a Hit

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

We caught the action four ways after a flop of {9-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Raymond Davis checked, Tony Dunst bet 1,700 and two players folded. Davis made the call and the {10-Hearts} fell on the turn. Davis checked, Dunst bet 4,700 and Davis made the call. After the {10-Diamonds} river, Davis declared "all in" and Dunst quickly made the call.

"Full house," Davis said confidently, tabling {10-Spades}{9-Spades} and Dunst mucked.

Dempsey and Neuville Climb the Counts

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

James "Flushy" Dempsey and Pierre Neuville have rocketed up the chip counts and have 33,000 and 28,000 chips respectively.

Jason Somerville has dropped to 3,100 chips, but seems in good spirits as he is laughing and joking with Noah Schwartz who he's seated next to.
