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.

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.

Alan Myerson	25,000 7,000	7,000

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Shirley Rosario: / /
Paul Sexton: / /
Pete Chen: / - fold
Michael Moore: / - fold

Shirley Rosario was all in pre and three other players joined her to fourth street in a raised pot. Paul Sexton bet into the side pot, getting folds from Michael Moore and Pete Chen. Rosario remained heads-up with a chance to more than quadruple up.

She was ahead as she peeled kings while Sexton trailed with a pair of tens. Rosario immediately spiked a three to make two pair. Sexton had several chances how to eliminate Rosario, but he couldn't hit a straight nor make higher two pair or trips. Rosario survived and continued with 13,300.

Meanwhile, William Munley and Frank Athey were eliminated on other tables and the tournament is now on a stone bubble with 48 players left.
