	Yossi Strasser - 15th place

Yossi moved his last chips in with A9 offsuit and got called by Sean with pocket 8s. Yossi got no help from the board and he was out.

Play has resumed. Level 13, 500 ante, 2K/4K blinds. With 15 players left, the average stack is just under 140K.

Players are on a break. Here are the approximate chip counts:

On a board of A 4 6 6 3, Danny checked and Sean bet 40K. After some thought, Danny folded. Sean offered to show, but Danny said he didn't want to know, so Sean mucked his hand. As the dealer scrambled the deck, I said 'I want to know' and handed Sean my notepad. He wrote down '44' which would have given him fours full.

Tom Schneider doubled up through Ralph Perry when his AK picked off Ralph's steal attempt with T7 offsuit.

	Tim Phan - 16th place

Tim moved all in with pocket 5s only to run into the pocket Aces of Jeff King. Board came 3 2 7 9 J and Tim was done.

Tim Phan finished in 16th place, earning $19,646.

John Spadavecchia got all in with pocket 9s against Ralph Perry's AK. Board came Q 4 2 8 4 and John doubled through.

Tim Phan's pocket Kings hold up for the double up against Ralph Perry's AJ.

	Brian Jensen - 17th place

	Mike Epstein - 18th place

In a three way all in, Sean was in the lead with QQ, Mike Epstein had 99, and Brian Jensen had AK. The board came 7 7 5 8 8 and Sean eliminated two players in one hand.

Brian Jensen finished in 17th place, earning $19,646.

Mike "Magic" Epstein finished in 18th place, earning $19,646.

Level 12, 1500/3000 blinds, 400 ante.

Alex Jagodik (pronounced juh-GO-dik) gets his last chips in with pocket 7s against David Benyamine's AJ. Board came Q Q Q 9 K and Alex doubled through.

Play has resumed. Here are the chip counts for the final 18 players, all of whom are guaranteed to win at least $19,646:

Blinds are still 1K/2K, with 300 ante.

Brian Jensen got all in with AQ offsuit versus Danny Fuhs' KJ offsuit. Board came A T 5 6 T and Brian doubled up.

On another table, on a board of 3 A A Q Q, Jordan Morgan gets all in against Ralph Perry. Jordan showed QT for Queens full, but Ralph had AT for Aces full and Jordan was eliminated in 19th place.

Clock is paused as they redraw seats at the final 2 tables.  Players are taking a 15 minute break here.

Sean McCabe has the chip lead with just under 250,000 and Bob Bright is in 2nd with about 200,000. Still hand for hand on the bubble.

Billy Baxter gets Steve Sung all in. Bill's pocket Queens are ahead of Steve's AJ, until an Ace lands on the turn and Steve takes the lead. Then the 2-outer Queen lands on the river to give Billy the set and the win. Steve is out in 20th place.

They are now hand-for-hand until the bubble is eliminated.

Greg Morris moved his last chips in with K3 of clubs and ran into the pocket tens of John Spadavecchia. Greg finished in 21st place. 2 more to go before they get to the money.

Billy Baxter gets all in against Brian Jensen. Billy's pocket Aces were looking good against Brian's pocket Queens, until a Queen landed on the flop. No fear for Billy, as an Ace fell on the turn and that was all he needed to double through.

On the river showing K T T 6 4, after bet, raise, re-raise, and call, Greg Morris turns over pocket 4s for fours full, but Sean McCabe has pocket Kings for Kings full and drags a big pot. After that hand, he is the chip leader with over 200,000 chips.

On another table, Bob Bright's pocket tens eliminate John Esposito in 22nd place.

Play has resumed. Level 11, 300 ante, 1K/2K blinds. Here are the approximate chip counts during the break:

Minh Nguyen ges all in against Sean McCabe on a flop with an Ace and a King. Minh had pocket Kings and was trailing Sean's pocket Aces, set over set. To add insult to injury, the case Ace fell on the river giving Sean Quad Aces. Minh is out in 23rd place.

Players are on a 15 minute break at the end of level 10.

Trung Nguyen got all in with pocket 7s and ran into Brian Jensen's pocket Jacks. A Jack on the flop was the end for Nguyen, he finished in 24th place.

Steve Frederick, who won event #5 here last week, is out in 25th place.

On a board of 6 3 5 A , Tim Phan moved all in. After some thought, Bob Bright called and showed A3 offsuit for two pair. Tim had 87 of clubs for the open-ended straight draw and flush draw. None of his out hit, however, (river was K ) and Bob doubled up.

Tom Schneider gets all in with Q Q against David Benyamine's 5 5 . Flop was J 7 2 helping no one; turn was 5 , giving David the lead with a set of 5s, but giving Tom the club flush draw. He needed a Queen or any club other than the Jack; river was 4 and Tom doubled up with a flush.

Two players busted: Paul Fischman was all in and lost. On another table, Andrew Barta got all in with KT offsuit against Erik Seidel's A8 offsuit. Board was Q J 5 2 4 and Andrew was done.

Paul gets 27th place as he started with fewer chips. Andrew gets 26th.

Play has resumed. Button in seat 1; 200 ante, 800/1600 blinds. 40 minutes left in level 10.
