Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

When the field was on the money bubble, the Tournament Supervisor warned all of the players to remain in their seats and not roam around the other tables, otherwise they would be given penalties.

Yosuke Sekiya was the first player to break the rule and received a one-hand penalty. Shortly thereafter, Jared Bleznick got up from his seat, and Eric Wasserson immediately notified the floor, who also gave Bleznick a one-hand penalty.

Just now, Wasserson yelled out to Bleznick (who was sitting two tables away) and asked how many chips he had. Bleznick said, "One ninety".

Bleznick's true count, however, was closer to 290,000.

"You pat?" Doan asked, surprised.

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Badugi:

Roland Israelashvili had been nursing a short stack for quite some time and moved all in from the button for 5,600 total. As Konstantin Puchkov was thinking from the small blind, Israelashvili said, "Triple me up and watch out," to Puchkov and Lyle Berman in the big blind.

Both blinds called and drew two each, while Israelishvili drew one. Puchkov checked and then folded to Berman's bet.

On the final two draws, both players drew one, and Israelashvili showed , drawing to a five. Berman fanned before he looked at his last card and mucked his hand. Israelashvili turned over his last card for good measure, and it was a for a six.
