Blake Napeirala made it 32,000 and Tom Mistretta and Steve Shaw came along from the blinds.

Mistretta checked the {7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop and Shaw bet 30,000. Only Napierala called. The {j-Spades} turn saw Shaw bet another 30,000 and Napeirala raise to 80,000. Without much hesitation. Shaw called and the {a-Diamonds} river was revealed. Shaw fired out 85,000 and Napierala let it go.

Meyers' Million

Level 14 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Chris Meyers
Chris Meyers

Jeff Hall bet 35,000 on the turn of a {k-Spades}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades}{a-Diamonds} board, heads-up with Chris Meyers.

Meyers fired back, raising to 80,000 and Hall called. On the {j-Clubs} river, Hall checked and Meyers bet 225,000. Faced with a decision for his tournament life, Hall called, and mucked when Meyers turned over the {a-Clubs}{6-Spades}.

After the hand, Meyers' stack bloated to over one-million chips and he continues to set the pace.

Tighe Out, Shaw Up

Level 13 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Pat Tighe spread chips all around the table before getting short and shoving the {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. Rob Bourkney raised behind and Steve Shaw called on the button, creating a side pot.

Bourkney shoved the {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop and Shaw tank-called with the {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}, out front of Bourkney's {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. The {4-Hearts} turn and {a-Spades} river changed nothing, Tighe hit the rail and Shaw doubled through.

Chris Meyers

Chris Meyers kept climbing back into contention and has now moved back into the lead.

The button opened to 19,000 and Meyers three-bet the small blind, making it 54,000. The big blind folded and the button shipped for 200,000. Meyers made the easy call with aces and held against {a-}{j-} to become both the first player past 600,000, and 700,000, at the same time.

Boutelle Doubles Through Ciffa

Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Kurtis Boutelle opened with a raise and Joe Ciffa three-bet the button to 55,000. Boutelle four-bet shoved for 129,000 more and without the big tank, Ciffa called it off with the {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

Boutelle had the {j-Clubs}{j-Spades} and it held on the {4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{5-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs} board to give him the double up.

Ciffa dusted the rest off a few hands later getting it in with two faces against an ace and failing to improve
