Over the course of level 14, the field lost eight players, broke a table and the final 32 players take a 10-minute break just five spots away from the money.

When they return, blinds will be 2,000/4,000 with a 4,000 big blind ante.

Thanks mostly to his double up through Mark Dube, Michael Tureniec leads the final 32 players with 382,000. Ken Fishman is on his heels, however, with 360,000.

Michael Tureniec

On a flop of JcTs8c, Michael Tureniec checked from the big blind and Mark Dube bet 11,000 from middle position. Mario Prats Garcia called from the hijack and Tureniec check-raised to 45,000.

Dube thought for about a minute before moving all in. Garcia folded and Tureniec quickly called.

Tureniec showed 8h8d, giving him bottom set, and was up against Dube’s Ac5c.

The turn was the 6c, giving Dube the lead with the nut flush, but the river was the Tc. The river gave Tureniec a full house and he dragged the pot.

The dealer broke down both stacks and Tureniec was all in for 152,500. Dube had him barely covered with a stack of 153,000 and was left with less than a big blind after the hand.

Michael Tureniec – 335,000
Mark Dube – 500
