David Prociak has taken a commanding lead, and he is using it to his advantage. He’s sitting to the right of one of the other chipleaders, Victor Kovachev, who only has a little more than half of what’s in Prociak’s stack.

David Prociak  –  5,000,000  (83 bb)
Victor Kovachev  –  2,855,000  (48 bb)

Leif Force is also still going strong with 2,750,000  (46 big blinds).

At Table 20, Landon Brown moved all in from the button for 440,000, and Song O. called from the big blind with AdJh. Brown turned over Qd7s, and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came AsQh6cKh5s, and Song O. won the pot with a pair of aces to eliminate Brown in 59th place.

Song O.  –  2,450,000  (41 bb)
Landon Brown  –  Eliminated in 59th Place  ($3,305)

At Table 9, Shane Scorza raised, Susan Lichtenstein moved all in, and Scorza called with 10h10d. Lichtenstein turned over Ac10c, and she needed to improve to stay alive.

The flop brought two clubs to give Lichtenstein a flush draw, but she improved no further. Scorza won the pot with his pocket tens to eliminate Lichtenstein in 58th place.

Shane Scorza  –  2,150,000  (36 bb)
Susan Lichtenstein  –  Eliminated in 58th Place  ($3,305)

A short while later at the same table, Michael Rizzuto got it all in from the button for about 540,000 with 9x9x, but he needed to improve to stay alive against the JxJx of Michael Larkin in the small blind.

The pocket jacks held up for Larkin to win the pot and eliminate Rizzuto in 57th place.

Michael Larkin  –  2,500,000  (42 bb)
