Level 14: Blinds 1,200/2,400/400 ante
As of the previous break, both Robert Hancock and Ronald Katz were among the chip leaders.
They’re both sporting headwear other than the usual baseball hats we’re used to seeing on the tournament circuit.
We’ll leave it up to you: Who wore it best?

Level 12: Blinds 800/1,600/200 ante
The big blind was all in preflop for just under 25,000 with pocket tens and Trevilyn Blakeslee (pictured above) had him covered with 
in the hole on the button. The board was dealt 
and Blakeslee won the hand to eliminate her opponent. She stacked up 53,00 after the hand.

Just before the blinds went up, (playing 600/1,200/200) Konstantinos Pantaridis jammed his last 13k utg+1 and the player to his left came over the top to isolate. Everyone else obliged by getting out of the pot.
Konstantinos rolled over 
and was trailing his opponent’s 
. The board flew out 7 6 2 A A and was no help to Konstantinos. He busted out of this flight, but plans to try again in Flight B starting at 7pm.
Down to 153 players remaining in this flight which will play through the end of level 15 before bagging up for the night.

Level 11: Blinds 600/1,200/200 ante
Dan Buzgon flopped the nut straight holding J9 and got all his chips in the middle against a player holding pocket Aces.
Then his opponent caught an Ace on the turn for a set, and the board paired on the river giving him a full house. Dan reported to the rail with plans to hit the beach rather than the next flight starting at 7pm.
