Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Tim Campbell
Tim Campbell

Tim Campbell is living a rags to riches dream. On the bubble he had 25,000 and barely squeaked into the money.

Now he has 450,000 and the chip lead. He simply got it in bad several times and came from behind to win. Then he doubled huge through Budwey Salhab, getting it in with top pair versus a Salhab flush draw that never materialized.

In the meantime, Nick Walker pushed over 400,000 as well, winning a 180,000-chip pot with big slick over {a-}{q-}.

Sahar Khajavi continues to climb the counts as they move down close to just 50 players left.

Moments ago her kings held against one player shoving eights and Khajavi has now joined the small group over 300,000 in chips.

The Bubble Pops

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

It was a fitting end to a very short bubble period as Ryan Martin and Scott Szatkowski both got it in with big slick and were looked up by a third player holding two queens.

The queens held and Scott Szatkowski was shortest, making him the bubble boy. Everyone else, including Ryan Martin, is in the money.

The Danger Zone

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Andy Ranaletti
Andy Ranaletti

Andy Ranaletti can't stop flopping sets and has moved into the chip lead.

It worked out well for him when he flopped a set of jacks on an ace-high board against one opponent holding {a-}{q-}. They got it i and that 120,000-chip pot is what moved him ahead of the pack.

In the meantime, Nick Walker just joined that pack after a huge hand. It started with a William Ho open to 9,500. Christopher Dundas three-bet to 31,500 and Walker came over the top with a fourth bet of 95,000. Ho hit the road, Dundas moved in for around 15,000 more, and Walker called with the {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}.

It was a cooler for Dundas and his {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. After a board of blanks he hit the rail and the dangerous walker has close to 300,000 now.

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Dietrich Kuhlman
Dietrich Kuhlman

Dietrich Kuhlman just cracked Charles Johnson's aces to grab hold of the chip lead heading into the first break of the day.

Johnson got all of his 40,000-plus all-in by the river after Kuhlman had hit a flush.

Just 80 remain heading into the break and the money bubble is in sight.
