1,650 Purple Chip Bounty No Limit Hold’em (Freeze-out)
Level 13: 800/1,600/200 Ante
Event 8 drew 85 players put up the $1,650 buy-in but only eight remain with a chance at the next title. They are back in the ballroom and ready to play down to the champion.
Brian Hastings was the unfortunately bubble boy when he went out in 10th and he was followed by Brett Bader in 9th for $2,125. Pete Malkoun has a big lead at this point but they have plenty of room to maneuver with the deep stacks and hour-long levels.
