Maria Parlatore has righted the ship after a rough start.
She shoved on a jack high board to the turn and figured she was beat when Scott Szatkowski snap called.
Nope. Szatkowski had and an even rougher start to the day. He's on the rail now and Parlatore is back around where she started.

The money bubble has busted with 46th Place going to Canadian Richie Bottenfield.
He ran queens into Kim Long Trieu's aces.
Everybody gets paid from here on out and they will play out the last few minutes of Level 14 before taking a break to color up the blacks.

Jim Haynes doubled through Jason Nablo with aces versus kings.
He even hit an ace on the flop for good measure. Truth be told, it didn't hurt Nablo too badly. He was almost at 300,000 before finding himself on the wrong end of that cooler.
It appears he will still take 220,000 and the lead into the next break. Speaking of breaks, this next one will likely be delayed for now.
They are on the money bubble with 46 players left and 6:54 to go in this level.
