Cameron Bartolotta checked an 
flop head-up with big stack Thomas Clayton. But when Clayton bet 40,000, he check-raised to 80,000.
Clayton called and Bartolotta slid out another 80,000 on the 
turn. Clayton called again and Bartolotta fired out 190,000 at the 
river. Clayton called yet again, but mucked when Bartolotta turned over the 
full house.
Clayton dipped below 800,000 after the hand and Bartlotta moved up close to one million, climbing all the way up from three big blinds earlier today.

The 21 players left are off on a 10-minute break with Level 22 over.
Tom Clayton relieved Marcy Jo Phillips of a lot of her chips in one hand where he bet every street with pocket aces and she put in more than 200,000 in before folding the river on a queen-high board with two sixes.
He got a bunch more making a set of nines in a three-bet pot and forcing another fold.
As a result, he takes up residence near the top of the leader board and she moves near the bottom.
