Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
A flurry of action on the bubble led to multiple players being knocked out and the tournament has no need for hand-for-hand play. There are currently 33 players remaining and they are bagging up for the evening.
Level: 15
Blinds: 3,000/5,000
Ante: 5,000
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Action was heads up with 65,000 in the pot and 
on the board when Eric Baldwin checked. Nick Pupillo bet 27,000 and Baldwin went into the tank. After a few moments of thought, Baldwin put out the chips to call.
The turn was 
and Baldwin checked again with 57,000 left. Pupillo shoved with much more but it was too much for Baldwin and he tossed his hand in the muck to give up the pot.
