$150 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 23: 10,000/20,000/3,000 Ante

While Giorgio Medici has given up a few of his chips to drop under 1.2 million, Joe Gale is quietly sitting behind a huge stack of 1,655,000 to take the lead at the start of Level 23.

He’s also relaxing with the services of our massage therapists walking around the room. Gale barely blinked an eye when Perry Shiao and John Cofhlin were battling in a huge pot on either side of him.

Event 5 is schedule to go on an extended dinner break at the end of Level 24 and return to play down to a champion.
