Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Marc Tushnet was all in for 1,000 with a ten out and found two callers: Scott Cole and bring-in Roy Thung. Cole and Thung didn't want to add any penny to the pot and checked it all the way down to a three-way showdown.

Marc Tushnet: /
Scott Cole: /
Roy Thung: /

Cole failed to make a pair and Tushnet had him beat with tens. Thung, however, finished with two pair, fives and deuces. Tushnet tapped the felt, wishing good luck to the table and then departed from the tournament area.

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

On fifth street, Frank Athey was all in against Jameson Painter while short stack Vincent Newland was already at risk.

Frank Athey: /
Jameson Painter: /

Painter had the lead with a set of sevens but Athey spiked the on sixth and the on seventh, while Painter got the and run out. Newland had already mucked his cards by then and headed to the rail, and Athey escaped from an exit just before the money bubble.

Another player at the table remarked "and the madness continues" as the hand came to an end.

The Money Bubble is Looming

Christian Zetzsche

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

There are just 53 players remaining and the top 47 spots will earn a portion of the prize pool. As a result, the action has been more moderate and among the shorter stacks are Alan Myerson and Mark Radoja, who just got involved in a hand.

Mark Radoja: / fold
Alan Myerson: /

Radoja completed with the nine and Myerson raised it up, Radoja was the sole caller. Myerson also bet fourth to pick up a call before a bet on fifth sent Radoja in the think tank. He checked his remaining stack carefully and opted to fold.

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Christopher Barens: /
Julien Martini: /

Christopher Barens completed and called when Julien Martini made it two bets. Both players caught a second diamond on their respective boards and Martini continued firing. Barens called and called on fifth street again. His board paired on sixth and he led out with eights out. Martini called and sigh-called on the river again.

"Jacks up," Barens said, turning up his hand. Martini folded and Barens stacked up a hefty pot that allowed him to move to a neighborhood of 100,000 in chips.

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Farhad Mobassery doesn't have to be particularly concerned with the fact that the tournament is now only a few spots away from paid places. With bubble looming, Mobassery is sitting on roughly 115,000 in chips. He just scooped another pot, getting paid with two pair in a hand against Mark Radoja.

Radoja's board showed three Broadway cards and he faced a bet on the river, with around 20,000 in the middle. He eventually convinced himself to make the call but shook his head when Mobassery showed him the winning hand.
