: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
One player made the money without even playing a single hand today.
That player was James Ray.
His 135,000 in chips started the day at Table 221, and by the time the money bubbled had burst those chips had dwindled down to 4,000 and were on Table 171, still in the rack.

Action was picked up on the flop, with one player all in and another deep in the tank.
Preflop and postflop action were recalled by players at the table.
Action folded to Isaac Kawa on the button, he raised to 22,000 and was called by David Frenkel in the small blind.
The flop came 
, which is when things got interesting.
Frenkel led out, Kawa three-bet, Frenkel then four-bet shoved, which sent Kawa deep into the tank.
After several minutes he made the call and the players tabled their hands.
Frenkel: 
Kawa: 
The top pair with top kicker for Kawa was behind Frenkel's flopped set, which held through the 
turn and 
river.
The players had almost identical stacks, and when both were counted down Kawa was left with only 35,000.
