21st Place: Joseph Berardi ($4,439)

Joseph Berardi has been eliminated when his pocket eights fell to Ralph Macri's king jack. Joseph will earn $4,439 for his 21st place finish in this Championship Event.

22nd Place: Aaron Smith ($4,110)

At 3,000/6,000 blinds with a 1,000 ante, Ralph Macri raised to 15,000 before Aaron Smith moved all in for 67,000. Action folded back to Ralph who thought for a bit before calling with [As][8s]. Aaron was live with [Kd][Td], and he flopped a flush draw when the flop fell [3d][7d][5h]. The [Ah] hit the turn, taking away six of Aaron's outs, and the [2s] river failed to complete his flush. Aaron will exit this tournament in 22nd place, good for $4,110.

23rd Place: Julie Bae ($4,110)

A short stacked Julie Bae got the last of her chips in the middle with ace five and was called by a player holding ace king. The [9c][Jh][Js] flop gave Julie some hope for a chop, and the [8h] turn gave her some more outs. But the [Ts] river kept ace king in front, and Julie will exit this tournament in 22nd place. She will collect $4,110 for her efforts.

24th Place: David Anderson ($4,110)

David Anderson has been eliminated when his ace nine was outrun by Marsel Backa's queen ten. The board ran out [Td][4d][5c][Jc][9s] to produce the first in-the-money casualty. David will earn $4,110 for his efforts.

Kevin Calenzo is eliminated on the bubble

At 3,000/6,000 blinds with a 1,000 ante, Kevin Calenzo opened the pot and Ralph Macri reraised him. Action folded back to Kevin who moved all in, and Ralph snap called. Kevin had run his pocket nines into Ralph's pocket kings, and was at risk of being the bubble boy. The Q-Q-A flop was no help for Kevin, but the ace on the turn gave Kevin two extra outs to chop. The river bricked, and Kevin will be the bubble boy. The remaining 24 players are now in they money and guaranteed $4,110.

Suad Kantarevic doubles up again!

In almost the exact same history as earlier, action folded to Marsel Backa on the button who moved all in. Suad Kantarevic called all in, and David Anderson folded the big blind. This time, Suad woke up with [As][Ac], much to the chagrin of Marsel who held [Ad][Ts]. The [5s][8s][5c] flop only gave Marsel backdoor outs, and the [Kd] left him drawing dead. The [6s] river saw Marsel ship over 166,000 Suad's way, and once again hand-for-hand play will continue.

Champion Event is on dinner break

The final 27 players are now on their one hour dinner break. When they return, blinds will be 3,000/6,000 with a 1,000 ante. Here are full chip counts and seating assignments for the remaining players:

Suad Kantarevic doubles up on the stone bubble

From the button, Marsel Backa moved all in, having the blinds covered. Suad Kantarevic called all in for around 80,000 and David Anderson folded the big blind. Suad had the best of it with [Jd][Jc] against Marsel's [Kc][6s], and the [Tc][5h][3h][7h][Ad] board kept the jacks in front. Suad will double up to around 170,000, and the tournament will continue hand-for-hand play.

Play continues in Championship Event

The final 25 players in the $1,650 Championship Event have returned from their one hour dinner break. Hand-for-hand play will continue, and the blinds are now 3,000/6,000 with a 1,000 ante.

Chris Tryba was eliminated in 27th place and Michael Borchetta was eliminated in 26th place. With 25 players remaining, the tournament is now hand for hand.

A player has been eliminated in 28th place, bringing the field down to the final 3 tables. The remaining 27 players are now redrawing for seats, and play will resume shortly at 2,500/5,000 blinds with a 500 ante.

Ralph Macri knocks three out in one orbit

In one single orbit, Ralph Macri has knocked out three players at the feature table.

First, Mike Clemente was all in holding king queen on a king high board against Ralph's ace king. Ralph's kicker held up, and Mike was sent to the rail.

A few hands later, Ralph called a raise from Chris Tryba before Alex Rocha moved all in. Chris folded, but Ralph made the call with ace jack. Alex had him beat with ace king, but joked that Ralph had three jacks to hit. Ralph proceeded to his one of the jacks and send Alex packing.

Dominik Pelli was next to feel Ralph's wrath, running his pocket tens into Ralph's pocket jacks.

With 30 players remaining, Ralph now sits on around 490,000.

Andy Frankenberger has been eliminated

Giuseppe Ruvolo moved all in from the small blind and Andy Frankenberger called from the big blind. It was a flip as Giuseppe held [as][kd] to Andy's [th][tc]. The board ran out [Kh][ac][3s][3d][9s] to give Giuseppe a double up to 120,000, leaving Andy with just 13,000.

Andy looked for a spot to get the rest of his chips in, but folded for an entire order. Finally, he was in the big blind for 5,000 and had 1,000 behind. Under the gun limped and Kevin Calenzo made it 16,000. Everyone folded to Andy who joked about folding before throwing his last 1,000 chip. UTG got out of the way, and Andy had one live card with his [Th][9h] against Kevin's [9s][9c]. After the [8s][3h][Qs] flop fell, Kevin jokingly told the dealer to ship the pot to Andy, implying he'd hit his six outer for sure. The [Qc] turn and [2h] river missed Andy's draw, however, and he was eliminated one table away from making the money.

Carlo Sciannameo is the first player over half a million

Long Tran opened the pot preflop and Carlo Sciannameo made the call. The flop fell [4d][8d][5s] and Long c-bet, only to be raised from Carlo. Long made the call and the turn fell [Th]. Long checked, and Carlo bet 70,000, only to be met by an all in by Long. Carlo snap called, turning over [7d][6c], and had Long's [Qh][Qd] drawing dead. The meaningless [Jc] hit the river to earn Carlo a full double up and make him the first player over a half a million in chips. After taking a few hands to stack up his winnings, he now sits on 623,000.

Fred Paradis has been eliminated

At 2,000/4,000 blinds with a 500 ante, Ralph Macri opened to 10,000 from the button and Fred Paradis moved all in for just under 50,000 from the big blind. Ralph made the call, and it would be a coin flip with Ralph's [Ks][Jc] against Fred's [9h][9c]. Ralph hit the [5h][Kh][Td] flop, and Fred could not find a nine on the [7d] turn or [8c] river. He will be eliminated short of the money.

Updated chip counts at the break

The 43 players remaining in Day 2 of the Championship Event are now on their second break of the day. Here is a chip count for as much of the field as we could count on break:

Long Tran - 450,000
Marsel Backa - 380,000
Tim Reilly - 333,000
Carlo Sciannameo - 320,000
Jason Scudamore - 280,000
Grant Lang - 250,000
Kevin Calenzo - 226,000
Bryan Leskowitz - 221,000
Chris Tryba - 200,000
James Campbell - 192,000
Tom Dobrilovic - 192,000
Dave Stefanski - 175,000
Julian Sacks - 175,000
Raphael Richter - 172,500
Aaron Smith - 154,000
Alex Rocha - 152,000
Samantha Cohen - 140,000
Ralph Macri - 137,000
Tim O'Keefe - 134,000
Michael Borchetta - 130,500
Joseph Berardi - 121,000
Edward O'Brien - 117,500
Sean Dillon - 88,500
Giuseppe Ruvolo - 72,000
David Labriola - 70,000
Fred Paradis - 50,000

Marsel Backa is having a good day

When Day 2 started, Marsel Backa had only 55,400, good for 55th place out of the remaining 84 players. But in the first two levels, Marsel has managed to work his stack up to 270,000 and now sits in the top 5 in chips.

Alex Rocha wins a pot going into break

Samantha Cohen opened preflop and Alex Rocha made the call as did Luis Alves in the big blind. All three checked the [5h][As][6d] flop, and Alex bet 8,000 after being checked to on the [Ks] turn. Luis folded, but Samantha made the call. The [7d] brought a third check from Samantha, this time prompting a 13,000 bet from Alex. Samantha took her time, but eventually made the call, only to see Alex show down [Ah][7h] for two pair. Samantha mucked, claiming ace queen to Alex's disbelief. After the hand, Alex was up to 142,300.

First break of the day

There are currently 61 players remaining in Day 2 of the Championship Event, and those players are now on their first 15 minute break of the day. When players return, blinds will be 1,200/2,400 with a 400 ante.

Checking in with our chip leaders

As Level 14 comes to a close, 63 players remain from the 84 that returned to Day 2. Let's check in with the chip leaders from the top of the day.

Suad Kantarevic started the day as the tournament chip leader with 243,000, but has dropped to 171,000. Meanwhile, Carlo Sciannameo started the day with 220,200 and has increased his stack to 335,000.

Robert Campion and Dave Stefanski started the day in 4th and 6th place, respectively, but have both dropped to well under 100,000. Robert has 51,000 while Dave has 75,000, still plenty of room to maneuver as the blinds are 1,000/2,000 with a 300 ante for 8 more minutes.

Giuseppe Ruvolo and Tou Kue started the day in 3rd and 5th place and haven't made much movement.

Three more hands

The clock was paused with 10 minutes remaining, and a card was drawn. Three more hands will be played before the survivors from Flight B will bag up for the night. They will combine with the remaining players from Flight A at 12pm to play Day 2. The board currently reads 26 players remaining.

Steven Tabb has been eliminated

Suad Kantarevic limped in early position and Steven Tabb also limped. The next player raised and there were two calls before Steven moved all in. After a long time in the tank, the original raiser folded and Suad called. Steven was in bad shape with pocket sevens against Suad's pocket tens, and he couldn't hit a seven to survive. He will bust out as the last level of the night begins.

36 players remaining

Level 12 has begun, which is the last level of the night. The blinds are now 600/1,200 with a 200 ante. 36 players remain, and here are select chip counts:

Suad Kantarevic - 177,000
Je Wook Oh - 120,000
Alex Rocha - 96,000
Dominik Pelli - 86,000
James Campbell - 55,000
Linsford Gettes - 39,000
Eric Siegel - 28,000

Last break of the night

Players in Flight B of the Championship Event are now on their last break of the night. Registration will close when this break concludes, and we will have prize pool and payout information shortly thereafter.

Photos from Flight A

Flight B now streaming live

Players are now back from their second break of the day, and a feature table is now streaming live at www.FoxwoodsLive.com. 63 players remain from the 73 players that started, and the blinds are now 200/400 with a 50 ante.

Ladies final table reached

The final table has been reached in Event #8 $230 NLH Ladies. The remaining nine are now guaranteed $475, and play will continue at 5,000/10,000 blinds with a 1,000 ante.

Flight B Update

Flight B is wrapping up Level 5, which means blinds are 100/200 with a 25 ante. So far there are 73 entries and 65 players remain. Here are some chip counts from around the room:

James Campbell - 55,000
Eric Siegel - 43,000
Chris Leong - 40,000
Alex Rocha - 34,000
Soukha Kachittavong - 32,000
Steven Tabb - 32,000
Raj Patel - 31,000
Dominik Pelli - 25,000

Three more hands

With 10 minutes left on the clock, the tournament staff has drawn a card, and three more hands will be played on every table before players bag up for the night. The board currently reads 62 players remaining.

Last level of Flight A

Flight A is now playing the last level of the night. 65 players remain from the 145 that started in this flight. Here are updated chip counts for select players:

Dave Stefanski - 160,000
Tim Reilly - 135,000
Andy Frankenberger - 89,000
Chris Tryba - 83,000
Tom Dobrilovic - 78,000
Ralph Macri - 77,300
Kevin Calenzo - 44,000
Fred Paradis - 30,600

James Campbell has been eliminated

We arrived at James Campbell's table to see him all in from the cutoff and called by the big blind. James was in great shape to double up with A-Q against A-T. The 9-9-5 flop gave his opponent some chop outs, but instead he hit a ten on the turn. No queen came on the river, and James will be eliminated from Flight A.

Flight B is Under Way

As Flight A of the Championship Event nears the last break of the night, Flight B has begun. Je Wook Oh, Eric Siegel, and Soukha Kachittavong are among the players to have already taken their seats. Play will last until approximately 1:30am in Flight B.

Level 8 chip counts

It's currently Level 8 in the Championship Event, and chip stacks are starting to diverge. Here's select chip counts from around the room:

Chris Leong -  92,000
Kevin Calenzo - 81,000
Tim Reilly - 70,000
Spiro Mitrokostas - 67,000
Tom Dobrilovic - 64,000

1st Place: William Davis Jr. ($11,572)

On a [Tc][Qs][Ks] flop, William Davis Jr. went all in and Don Russell called all in for less. William had flopped bottom two pair with his [Qh][Th], and it was ahead of Don's [2h][2c]. Don would need a deuce to survive, but it did not come when the turn fell and river fell [5s][Kd]. Don will exit this tournament in 2nd place, collecting $8,000 for his efforts.

William Davis Jr. has won Event #7 $300 NLH Big Stack, taking home $11,572, the title, and the trophy. Congrats, William!

Don Russell doubles through William Davis Jr.

With a 4 to 1 chip deficit, Don Russell was all in with ace-eight against the ace-six of William Davis Jr. Don made two pair to double up, and now sits on just over 2,000,000 William's 3,600,000 in chips. The blinds have just gone up to 50,000/100,000 with a 10,000 ante.

3rd Place: Chris Leong ($4,858)

From the button, Chris Leong moved all in from the button and Don Russell called all in for less from the small blind. William Davis Jr. folded the big blind, and Don was in good shape to double up with his [As][Kd] against Chris's [Ac][9s]. The [6c][Qd][Ks] meant Chris could not win, but the [Ts] turn did bring chop outs. The [2c] river was not the jack Chris was looking for, and he will ship over 1,000,000 to Don.

Chris was left with around 300,000 after the hand, and he got those chips in a few hands later with [Kc][Js] against William Davis Jr.'s [Ac][6h]. Chris was live all the way to the river on the [Qc][4d][7s][8c][5h] board, but he failed to improve, and will exit this tournament in 3rd place. Chris will collect $4,858 for his efforts.

4th Place: Michael Labarge ($3,891)

Michael Labarge was all in from under the gun and William Davis Jr. made the call next to act. The other two players got out of the way, and Michael would be at risk with [Js][Tc] against William's [Ad][9c]. The [9d][5c][7d] flop gave Michael a gutshot to go with his two overs, but the [4d] on the turn meant those cards could not be a diamond. The [Qd] missed Michael's draw and gave William the winning flush. Michael will exit this tournament in 4th place, collecting $3,891 for his efforts.
