The only thing that could settle down the action was the first break, they can’t get their chips in the middle if they weren’t at the table. Players were sent on a 15-minute break and we were given an unobstructed view at the stacks.

We found two over one million; Abil Khan sits at the top with 1,160,000 followed by Ryan Hogan’s 1,068,000. Raul Jimenez is the closest to joining them with 901,000 with even more climbing higher.

With the quick action to start the day, someone needed to pick up all those chips. They are being distributed to players throughout the room but returning Day 2 chip leader is picking up his fair share.

He began the day with 638,000 but added more than 400K over the first level and change to put his stack up to 1,087,000 as we quickly head into the late stages of the tournament.

With the clock ticking down on the first level of the day, Event 1 dropped down to 137 players to put them on the money bubble. Tournament staff announced for dealers to hold up after their current hand before beginning the hand-for-hand process.

But they didn’t get that far. There were at least three all-ins around the room and one player was eliminated before bubble play was necessary.

Floor staff confirmed the head count and the remaining 136 player were in the money with barely a sweat.

There were 36 players coming in with max late registration and their first order of business would be to build a workable stack. Eric Rivera was one of those players and already up a bit from his 30K stack when he saw Paul Valenzu open to 10,000 from the hijack and Phil Hui three-bet to 32,000 from the cutoff.

Rivera moved all in for 52,000 from the small blind, Valenzu folded, and Hui called.

Rivera:
Hui:

Rivera was in good shape for a double, both flopped an ace on the board, but Rivera was still ahead with his kicker. It finished with the turn and river and Rivera doubled up with aces up queen kicker.

Eric Rivera – 122,000 (31 bb)
Phil Hui – 128,000 (32 bb)
