Kevin Wright open shoved all in early for 575,000 and Matt Marcinkiewicz came over the top to isolate. It worked and Wright was flipping for his tournament life with big slick versus Marcinkiewicz' nines.
was the last board Wright will see in this event. He missed. He's out 9th earning almost eleven buy-ins.
Blake Napierala jammed 700,000 over an Eric Thibodeau raise and Thibodeau said those fateful words so many have before.
"I don't think I can fold this one."
This one was jacks, and he didn't. Napierala had kings and they held on a board of blanks. Thibodeau was left with scraps and his fate was sealed a few hands later unceremoniously.
Tim Glab has turned that frown upside down doubling through Kevin Wright. He flopped a pair of aces and somehow got Wright to commit with pocket sixes.
That leaves Wright the short stack in the group, with Alex Visbisky also getting close to the 10-bigs danger zone. Eleven still remain with Level 26 fast approaching.
Paul Bitterman got it in with top pair, but Leo Kaplin turned trip nines to bust him. Kaplin took the lead with that hand.
Then Chris Damick flopped a pair and ran into Matt Marcinkiewicz aces to exit. Short stack Ian Tuason was out a minute later with a face card against Kaplin's pair of eights.
Now it's down to 11 and the final table of ten is one more bust out away. Here's the up to the second chip counts:
Tim Glab just robbed Blake Napierala of the chip lead, cracking his aces.
Glab led for 70,000 and Napierala made it 185,000. Glab flatted and they went heads up to a flop. Glab check-called 200,000, then bombed away for 500,000 on the turn.
Napierala made the call, but Glab had the top two. The river was a stone brick.
That smash and grab left Napierala with a million, but it put Glab on top.
His cut from the score was 1.8 million in chips and now he has the lead heading into a 30-minute dinner break. Play will resume at approximately 7:15 p.m. local time.
