Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Chase Steely bet a four-way limped pot on the A♦7♦5♠ flop and all his opponents folded.

One hand later, Bogdan Capitan raised to 85,000 from under the gun and Sean Winter called in the big blind. The K♦4♦3♥ flop was checked and Capitan lost one time bank when he didn't notice it on the other side of the dealer. He then bet 100,000 and Winter snap-folded.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel put Eric Kurtzman all in on a completed board of 2♥6♠2♣9♦4♣. Kurtzman called off for his remaining 150,000 or so chips and Kabrhel tabled K♣K♦Q♠2♦ for trip deuces.

Kurtzman added his cards to the muck and swiftly left the tournament area.

Meanwhile, Jesse Lonis got his final few blinds in against Dirk Gerritse and lost the encounter to be eliminated.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The field is already down to the last six tables after frantic opening two hours and the latest players to fall included Tom-Aksel Bedell and Charlie Hook.

Bedell was all-in after the J♣10♥8♣ flop against Bryce Yockey with the A♠K♣J♠6♦ for top pair and a gutshot while Yockey had the K♦K♠Q♠8♦ for the overpair.

The 7♠ turn and 4♣ river were both blanks.

Soon after, Hook was all-in prior to the 8♣6♠5♣ flop and awaited his fate while Yockey and Jim Collopy checked to the 4♠ turn. Yockey bet 150,000 and Collopy called to see the 9♠ on the river.

Yockey used a time bank to check, and Collopy used a time bank to then bet 375,000. No call by Yockey followed and Collopy tabled the A♠J♠10♣9♣ for the nut flush in spades to send the next opponent to the rail from Table 142. Hook exposed his A♦Q♥10♦7♥ briefly and their table broke right after as the field was reduced to the last 48 hopefuls.

Kempton and Levi Play Out Huge Pot Before the Break

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Almost everyone had already left the tournament area but there was still a hand going on over on table 136 between Isaac Kempton on the button and Shahar Levi in the big blind. It turned out to be the biggest pot of the tournament so far in which Levi check-called the Q♠9♦6♠ flop for 375,000 and check-raised the pot to 1,250,000 on the A♣ turn, Kempton called.

That created a pot of more than three million to the 8♥ river and Levi checked. Kempton now moved forward almost his entire stack as he kept one T-5,000 chip behind. The bet was for 850,000 and Levi went deep into the tank. He used seven of his eight available time banks before folding several minutes into the first break of the day.

Isaac Kempton	3,900,000 1,375,000	1,375,000

Mercier Gets Some Chips Back

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Gabriel Andrade raised to 100,000 and was called by Jason Mercier on the button and Tim Van Loo in the big blind.

While the hand was played out, there was a massive commotion on table 135 as Maxi Lehmanski and Martin Kabrhel played out an ordinary pot in which the bet sizing required a ruling by the floor. That turned out to take several minutes, which several other players including this one complained about with Brian Rast and Shaun Deeb being the most vocal about it.

Back to the poker action, the three-way flop of A♣8♥4♦ flop and 6♣ turn were checked. It checked to Mercier on the 5♣ river and his bet of 125,000 took down the pot uncontested.

On a completed board of 2♠6♥K♠10♣J♠, Sean Winter made a pot-sized bet of 120,000. Bogdan Capitan made the call in the big blind, and Christopher Frank spent four time banks on the button before finding a fold.

Winter showed Q♠J♣8♣3♠ for the second nut flush and raked in the pot.

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Gabriel Andrade raised to 65,000 under the gun and Noah Schwartz called in the cutoff. Anthony Zinno then made it 300,000 to go in the small blind and Andrade folded after spending one time bank.

Schwartz quickly flung his cards into the muck as well as Zinno took the pot uncontested.
