Robert Campion (Stony Brook, NY)

It hasn't been smooth sailing for our big stacked players as both Robert Campion and Jay Marshall have doubled up through Souhka Kachittavong and Brad St. Vincent over the last level, moving Campion back up to the chip average and Marshall up to a workable 10 big blind stack.

Marshall was the first to score his double, moving all-in with [Ah][10d] after Brad St. Vincent opened the action from middle position.

St. Vincent was more or less priced in and would call with [Kc][9c].

St. Vincent would flop a straight draw but out brick out over the turn and river and Marshall's Ace high would be good enough to win the pot and move himself up close to the 200,000 mark.

Campion scored a much bigger double up, as he moved all-in from the big blind for just over 230,000 overtop of the early position open from Soukha, who would eventually call with [8c][8h].

Campion held [Ad][5d] and they would be semi-flipping, until the [Ah][7c][Kh] flop came down, with Campion improving to trips on the turn and holding on through the river for the huge double.

That would move him close to the 500,000 chip mark and would cut Soukha down to just below the chip average.

Campion and Soukha's encounter would be the first "massive" pot played between any of our "murderer's row" players, something that was more or less bound to happen with twenty players remaining.

We are now mid-way through Level 23, with the field just a few eliminations away from the final two table redraw.
