Players Remaining:  27 of 303

Allan Bieler

With the elimination of Allan Bieler in 28th place, tournament staff paused the clock to redraw seats at the last three tables.

We will grab a full lineup with counts during the upcoming dinner break.

28th: Allan Bieler – $3,000

Event 6: Richard Farhat Eliminated Boat Over Boat

$1,700 Deepest Stack No-Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Prize Pool:  $454,500 | Structure | Payouts
Level 19:  5,000/10,000 with a 10,000 ante
Players Remaining:  30 of 303

Craig Pollak

We caught the middle of a big hand at Table 14. It was four-ways to a 9d9h7c flop, Richard Farhat got about 125,000 all in the middle from the small blind, both Craig Pollak from the big blind and Allan Bieler from early position came along. The turn was 3h, Pollak moved all in for 160,000 and Bieler folded after a long think.

Farhat: 7s7h
Pollak: 9c7d

Farhat had every reason to think his flopped full house sevens full of nines would be good but Pollak was better with nines full of sevens. Farhat was drawing dead to the river and went out in 30th place while Pollak moved among the leaders.

Craig Pollak – 735,000 (74 bb)
Richard Farhat – Eliminated in 30th Place ($3,000)

The second break ended and players returned to their seats, guaranteed at least $3,000 and moving on to the next stage of the tournament, trying to hit this final table.

Chris Bissinger continued to lead and sits as the only player over one million. Two new entries joined the top five with Bobby Lupo and Noah Schwartz getting big.

They will play two more levels before taking a 40-minute dinner break.

Level 18:  4,000/8,000 with a 8,000 ante
Players Remaining:  38 of 303

Johnny Bromberg

With the clock ticking down to the next break, the field quickly shrank to 39 to begin bubble play. But before all the hands were finished, one player was all in for 114,000 and Johnny Bromberg had him at risk.

Bromberg: 9c9d
Opponent: AcKd

It was a race and the short stack needed to improve to stay in the game. The board ran out 8d5d5h4sTs, Bromberg’s nines held, and the field was in the money.

Johnny Bromberg – 620,000 (78 bb)

Caio De Lucca Sobral

After flying along this afternoon, action slowed way down after they broke to five tables. They lost one player over most of Level 18 and they should hit the break near the money bubble.

Caio De Lucca Sobral is making the most of the new situation, cruising his stack up to 868,000 while others are trying to stick around.

Right before the level went up, the Deepest Stack dropped down to 45 players at five tables. They are now within shouting distance of the money bubble and it will get there before they break another table.
