Here's what the stacks look like heading into Level 19:
Justin Bonomo -- 861,000
Andrew Robl -- 611,000
Erick Lindgren -- 595,000
David Rheem -- 575,000
Roland de Wolfe -- 322,000
David Williams -- 252,000
Howard Lederer -- 110,000
For the last hand of this level, Lindgren had the button. Bonomo raised to 22,000 from the hijack seat. Andrew Robl reraised to 65,000 from the cutoff and the action folded back around to Bonomo. Bonomo folded, and Robl took the pot.
The break is coming. (As are some updated chip counts.)
David Williams has the button. David Rheem raised to 24,000. Pat Pezzin moved all in for 151,000 and Andrew Robl called all in. Rheem folded. Pezzin showed and Robl showed .
The flop was . The turn was the . The river was the and Pat Pezzin was eliminated.
After several rapid-fire hands in the limit round, the action has slowed considerably here in the no-limit half of Level 18, as several players have been forced to make tourney life-or-death decisions.
Uh oh . . . another big one brewing . . . stay tuned . . .
All folded to Pat Pezzin on the button, who raised to 24,000. Williams, in the small blind, took his time before counting out his reraise to 75,000. Bonomo then reraised all in from the big blind. Pezzin folded.
Williams had a big decision to make. He sat hunched over his chips for several minutes. He looked over at Bonomo's chips. He had Bonomo covered, but would be risking a high percentage of his chips should he make the call.
Finally, Williams decided to pick another battle and folded.
