Waxman and Mahin's Stacks Accidentally Merged

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

During each break, each table does a full break down of the stacks in order to get accurate chip counts. At the table containing Matt Waxman and Scott Mahin, one of the outer feature tables, a mishap occurred that saw the two stacks merged together as one. The mistake was quickly caught shortly into the last break, and the tournament staff was immediately called over. The staff promptly went to the surveillance cameras, and it was at this point that Waxman returned back to his table to see that his stack had been mixed together with Mahin's.

Waxman stated that he texted his friends with an update that he had 3.85 million at the break. Those that counted Waxman's stack on break also had this amount, but everyone would have to wait for the staff to check the cameras.

After a few minutes of waiting, Waxman and Mahin came to the conclusion that Waxman had 3.85 million and Mahin 740,000. They counted the combined stack at 4.59 million, so this would make sense by their math, as long as the cameras could confirm. The staff eventually returned and informed the players that Mahin's stack should be 740,000, which confirmed what Waxman and Mahin had derived. The two stacks were split back up, put in front of each player's seat, and play resumed for the start of the new level.

Level 26 Comes to End: 15 Players Falls Including Ruberto, Hastings & Gold

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Brian Hastings

Level 26 began with 74 players still in contention, but after two levels of play, just 59 remain.

The first player to fall in the level was Gabriel Paul, who got his chips all in with the {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} but failed to overcome the pocket jacks of Kyle Keranen, who became the first player to cross the eight-figure mark after the hand.

Not long after, Anh Van Nguyen and Benjamin Gold were both eliminated in a big hand at the feature table, and then Kyle Bowker followed them out the door in 71st place when his pocket kings were cracked by the pocket sevens of Thomas Sarra Jr in an all-in preflop situation.

Michael Stembera then fell in 70th Place for $103,025 when he ran pocket jacks into Aaron Kaiser's pocket queens. Chanracy Khun, Tony Ruberto, Steven Bennett, Chad Eveslage, Daniel Wilson, and Brian Hastings would all before the end of the level.

Hastings fell when he got his last 1.3 million all in preflop holding the {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} only to run into the {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} of Andrey Zaichenko. Both players ended up making a full house, but Hastings was second best and he had to settle for 64th place for $103,025.

From there, Jeffrey Loiacono, Zachary Hirst, Pfizer Jordan, and Nathan Goldstein all fell before Level 26 came to an end.

Cards will be back in the air shortly, but while you wait check out this interview with Mark Newhouse, who has his eyes firmly fixed on becoming the first player to make back-to-back November Nines.
