Event 12: The Money Bubble Burst

Players are now redrawing in the six-max. We are down to the last 12 players and have 3 levels left on the night.

Event 13: 4th Place Sean Dillon ($9,458)


Sean Dillon
We say goodbye to Sean Dillon in 4th place when his [Kc][Jd] couldn't catch the [As][Ad] Wagner. Dillon will take home $9,458.

Event 13: Wagner Turns Gin

Level 31
Blinds 50000/100000/10000
Players Remaining 4

Macri checked his option on the flop of [As][Kh][2h] only to see Wagner check behind. The turn brought the [3h] and a raising war ignited between the two and they found all their chips in the middle. 
Macri [Ah][6s]
Wagner [Kc][3s]
Wagner dodged any dirty rivers when the [7s] hit and got the full double to over 2,000,000. Macri drops back down to 3,000,000.

Event 13: Macri Running Away

Level 31
Blinds 50000/100000/10000
Players Remaining 4
Ralph Macri

Ralph Macri is starting to separate himself from the rest of the field and is using his aggression to an advantage. He currently sits on over 4,000,000 chips with the second biggest stack at the table being Kim Schinco with around 1,300,000. Players have 20 minutes left in level 31 and will be on a 10 minute break at the end of this level.

Event 13: Schinco Crosses 2,000,000

Level 30
Blinds 40000/80000/1000
Players Remaining 4

Kim Schinco was on the better end of a flip as her [9d][9h] held against the [Ah][Kd] of Pete Wagner. Schinco is now up to 2,600,000 and Wagner drops back down to 1,000,000. There is 10 minutes left in this level.

Event 14: Play Slows Down

Level 19
Blinds 3000/6000/1000
Players Remaining 14 

Play has slowed down dramatically in the six-max which is no surprise considering the average stack is still well over 30 big blinds. 14 players remain and 12 will make the money. There are 3 levels left in the night.

Event 13: 5th Place - Anders Thurdin ($7,043)


5th Place - Anders Thurdin
Ralph Macri has claimed another victim as he just felted Anders Thurdin in 5th place. Thurdin was all in at risk with [Qd][10h] and could not improve against the [8c][8c] of Macri. Thurdin will take home $7,043.
Macri is now the chip leader with over 3,400,000.

Event 13: 6th Place - Oskar Musralowski ($5,702)

Level 30
Blinds 40000/80000/10000
Players Remaining 5

6th Place - Oskar Musralowski

Oskar Musralowski was all in and at risk holding [Kc][Ks] against the [As][Kh] of Ralph Macri. Oskar seemed like he was going to double up when the dealer spread the [5h][8c][9c] flop. 
The rail yelled "Ace, Ace, Ace!" and sure enough the [Ah] hit the river. A [10s] secured the pot for Ralph Macri as he is now over 2,000,000 in chips. Oskar will take home $5,702.

Event 13: 7th Place - Konstantinos Mitsopoulos ($4,561)

Level 29
Blinds 25000/50000/5000
Players Remaining 6
7th Place - Konstantinos Mitsopoulos

We lose Konstantinos Mitsopoulos  in 6th place when his [Ad][Kd] couldn't out run the [5c][5s] of Kim Schinco. Mitsopoulos will take home $4,561.

Event 13: 8th Place - David Labriola($3,556)

Level 29
Blinds 25000/50000/5000
Players Remaining 7
8th Place - David Labriola

We say goodbye to David Labriola in 8th place. Labriola got the last of his chips in the middle holding [Jd][Jc] on a [Qd][10h][5d] board and failed to improve against the [As][Qc] of Ralph Macri. Labriola will take home $3,556 for his 7th place finish.
 

Event 13: 9th Place - Connie Dugas ($2,773)

Level 28
Blinds 25000/50000/5000
Players Remaining 9
 
9th Place - Connie Dugas

 Moments after doubling up Oskar Musralowski when her [Ad][2d] couldn't run down his [Kh][Kd] on a [7d][2s][10d] we say goodbye to Connie Dugas in 9th place.

Konstantinos Mitsopoulos opened the action with a raise to 100,000 and was quickly three-bet by Pete Wagner to 250,000. Action folded to Connie Dugas in the small blind who announced all in for a total of 315,000 and Mitsopoulos quickly got out of the way. Wagner called and the hands were tabled:

Dugas: [Ac][10h]
Wagner: [Ad][Qs]
The board ran out [Qh][5d][8s][4s][Jc] and Connie Dugas was sent home in 9th place for $2,773.

Event 13: Labriola Doubles Through Macri

Level 28
Blinds 25000/50000/5000
Players Remaining 9

Ralph Macri opened the action from the hi-jack to 110,000 only to see David Labriola shove for his last 420,000 from the big bling. Macri counted down his stack numerous times and eventually called.
Labriola [9s][9d]
Macri [As][2s]

The board ran out [9c][Qc][Qh][8s][4s] and Labriola doubled to over 1,000,000, while Macri was crippled to 215,000.
One after another the players at the table said nice hand to congratulate Labriola when Macri picked his head up with a smile and said "Alright, alright, I guess it was a nice hand".
The rest of the table laughed as it lightened the mood for a few seconds from a table that has been extremely tense.

Event 14: Money Bubble Approaching

Level 16
Blinds 1500/3000/500
Players Remaining 16

We are down to our final 16 in the six-max and with only 12 players cashing the money bubble is on the horizon. Players are scheduled to play another 6 levels tonight.

Event 13: 10th Place - Frank Melgar ($2,079)

Level 28 
Blinds 25000/50000/5000
Players Remaining: 9 
10th Place - Frank Melgar

Frank Melgar was all in for his last 110,000 with [Jh][Jd] against the [As][Qs] of Peter Wagner. Melgar looked destined to double up with the [4d][2c][6d] flop and was still ahead on the [Kc] turn, but he couldn't dodge the [Qc] on the river. Melgar will take home $2,079 for his 10th place finish.

Event 13: Musralowski Doubles Through Macri

Level 27
Blinds 20000/40000/5000
Players Remaining: 10 


Musralowski was all in for his last 195,000 and Ralph Macri called.

[3h][8h][Qs][7s][5h]

Musralowski doubled up to 500,000.

Event 13: Thurdin Doubles Through Musralowski

Level 27
Blinds 20000/40000/5000
Players Remaining: 10

With a few raised going in pre-flop, Anders Thurdin was all in and at risk for his last 480,000. Oskar Musralowski reluctantly said call and the two hands were tabled.
Thurdin: [Kh][Kd]
Musralowski: [Jd][Jh]
The board ran out [Ah][7c][4s][Ad][Qc] and Thurdin would double up to 1,300,000 while Musralowski was down to his 195,000.

Event 14: Pearlman is Back with a Vegeance

Level 10
Blinds 400/800/100 
Players Remaining: 40
Dena Pearlman

Earlier today Dena Pearlman had built her stack to over 55,000 before her aces were cracked when another player went runner-runner and hit a backdoor straight against her. She quickly gathered her things and headed to the cage to re-buy. Sure enough she was given the exact same seat assignment and told her table she was coming after her chips.

On a board reading [Kc][6h][2s][Kd] Pearlman checked her option to her opponent who bet 7,200. Pearlman went into the tank and after about 2 minutes announced she was all in for an additional 25,000. Frustrated, her opponent sat back in his chair, counted out a call but didn't push anything over the line. After about 3 minutes he eventually said call.
"Hope you don't suck out on me" Pearlman said with a smile as she tabled [2d][2h].
Her opponent just shook his head flipping over [Kh][10c] and would need to fill up on the river to eliminate Pearlman.
The river was a brick and Pearlman doubled up to over 74,000.

38 players remain and will be taking an hour dinner break after level 12.

Event 13: Chaves Wasn't Even Sweatin'

Level 24
Blinds 10000/20000/3000
Players Remaining: 18

David Chaves found himself all in and at risk with [4c][4s] against the [Jh][9h] of Don Slocum.

The [10d][8c][Js] flop was not what Chaves had in mind.
"Four Ball!" He yelled as the dealer burned the [2d].
"Sh**! That's not a four!" Chaves said as he leaned forward in his chair.
The table got quiet as the dealer snapped one card into the muck and placed the [4d] on the river.
"Yeah Baby! I wasn't even sweatin' it" Chaves said to his rail.

Chaves is up to 315,000 and players are currently redrawing with only 18 remaining.

Some players who have not been as lucky include Tarun G and Ryan Moriarty who have both hit the rail.

Event 14: Verbal Sparring Match Between Palma & Failla

Level 6
Blinds 150/300/25
Players Registered 87

Nick Palma (left) and Will Failla (right)

In what has developed into one of the more interesting dynamics, Will Failla and Nick Palma are seated right next to each other in today's six-max. The verbal sparring has been going back and forth for quite some time, both needling each other much to the enjoyment of their table mates.

After a few shots fired between both Palma commented "In 40 years when I'm your age, I'll have more money than you guy" with a huge grin on his face.
"It's going to take a lot more than 40 years buddy" Failla jabbed back.
The exchange continued on with Failla commenting on Palma getting his money from the bad beat jackpot he hit here at Foxwoods last year and eventually ended in both parties laughing. 

Palma seems to be getting the better end of things though as he sits with 32,000, while Failla is down to just 5,200. Here is a look at some other counts from around the room.

Mark Dube - 16,500
James Campbell - 11,000
Dena Pearlman - 55,000
Mark Perry - 15,000

There is 15 minutes left in level 6.

Event 13: Slocum Bursts Bubble in Bizarre Hand

Level 19
Blinds 4000/8000/1000
Players Remaining 45


Don Slocum
In what turned out to the hand that burst the bubble a player opened the action with a raise to 18,000 in the cut off. Don Slocum quickly clicked it back with a three bet to 42,000 in the small blind only to see Mark Dube four bet from the big blind to 70,000. The original raiser announced he was all in for 78,000 total and action was back on Slocum.
Slocum asked if he could put in a raise and the dealer called the floor. Originally the floor ruled that Slocum could only call and the action was dead which started an argument at the feature table. After calling over another floor and going step by step through the action, they had ruled that Slocum could indeed raise. He announced he was all in and Dube folded [Qs][Qh] face up.

Cut off: [Jc][Jd]
Slocum: [Ad][Ah]

The board ran out clean and Slocum burst the bubble as he raked in the pot. He now sits with over 550,000 and all of the players left are in the money!.

Event 13: Moriarty Picks Off Laberge in Huge Hand

Level 19
Blinds 3000/6000/100
Players Remaining: 46


Ryan Moriarty

The clock sounded as the end of level 18 came to a close. Most players picked up their things and headed off to enjoy their 10 minute break but a small crowd gathered around table 2 as a massive pot started to brew.
Action folded around to Ryan Moriarty who elected to open to 10,000 from the hi-jack. It folded through to on Ian Laberge in the small blind who put in a three-bet to 32,500.
Moriarty sat stoic for a few moments before announcing raise and sliding forth a tower of gray chips for a four-bet to 70,000.
Not to be deterred, Laberge counted out enough for a call but announced all in for a total of around 200,000.
Moriarty slouched in his chair and seemed disgusted. He shrugged, grabbed a handful of chips and announced call.
"F***, how do i do this to myself" Laberge screamed as he tabled his hand.

Laberge: [Kh] [10h]
Moriarty: [Ah] [Ks]

The board ran out [3c][Qs][4s][7d][8d] and Moriarty catapulted up to the top of the chip counts as he now sits on a massive stack of over 460,000.
Laberge gathered his things and he headed out of the tournament area leaving behind nothing but a couple of expletives.

The blinds are now up to 3000/6000/ with a 1000 ante as 46 players remain.
