Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
David Conron has vaulted into the chip lead taking all of Bruce Pace's chips with him.
With more than 100,000 chips already in the middle on an 
flop, Pace and Conron responded to a 35,000-chip bet from Brian McCormick by pushing all in.
McCormick got out of the way and the cards were revealed with Conron holding 
and Pace on 
.
Pace's fall from grace was complete after the 
turn and 
river came down.

Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
In typical tournament poker fashion, East Amherst's Peter Owczarczak has suddenly vaulted to a spot near the top of the chip counts after a day lost in anonymity.
First he tripled up his paltry 25,000-chip stack when he picked up aces. A few hands later it was queens that helped him drag some more loot.
For the the past level he simply hasn't lost a hand and he's certainly played his fair share on the way to building a contending stack here at the final three tables.
