Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
As the second level of the day has kicked off, the tournament screens show 60 players remaining and Gregory Dodson was the last casualty. Preston Hartmann and Richard Mombourquette were able to build their stacks with the former taking on Gina Bacon in a bigger pot.
Manuel Sadornil is on the very same table and just got involved in two hands as well. First he bet a heads-up flop of 
for 25,000 and David Ives raised it up to 65,000 in the big blind, Sadornil let go. The next hand, Peter Smaha in the cutoff raised and Sadornil three-bet to 81,000 in order to force a fold and recover the lost chips from before.
