It looks like Andrew Hills took a little dip at the break as his stack was down a bit while Michael Tureniec is now up to 960,000.

But Hills moved back up. We did not catch the action but we found Marvin Rettenmaier packing up his belongings. He was all in for ~325,000 against Hills and flopped top pair with on the board. Hill’s had and filled his flush on the turn and river to send the tough player out.

Andrew Hills – 1,230,000 (82 bb)

The second break hit and tournament staff sent the 37 remaining players on break as they colored off the 1K chips.

Tony Utnage kept his lead and even expanded before he left, it looks like it was at the expense of Nick Yunis who is down to 530,000. Jennifer Miller is second with the only other + 1 million stack with Andrew Hills, Bryce McVay, and Richard Whitebrook rounding out the top five.

• Tony Utnage – 1,690,000 (113 bb)

In a four-way pot, David Hass moved all in for 62,000 from the small blind. Two players folded and one player called in the cutoff.

“Do you have a king?” Hass asked after the call.

He did not have a king.

Semel:

Hass flopped second pair but was well behind the over pair aces. The board finished with the turn and river to send Hass out in 52nd place.

Two days ago, we had the big Event 1 restart and that field made it into the money before the first break without the process of hand-for-hand play.

Again today, tournament staff asked dealers to stop all action after their current hand to begin bubble play. They lost one during that hand so the remaining players were in the money without a fuss.

Table 29 was broken to get the field down to the last nine tables and they will continue through this level before the first break of the day.
