At the end of the previous level, Bradley Young found himself entangled in a pot with Phil Ivey in which the pair had gotten to a flop, Young had bet 3,600, and Ivey had responded by raising the pot. Young tanked for a full five minutes as Ivey continued to receive his massage, the big board behind him showing the field having shrunk below 80 and just a few spots off of the cash.
Finally Young folded, and afterwards asked Ivey if he'd made a good fold.
"I don't know what you had," answered Ivey, to which Young said he'd folded top two pair with . "Really?" said Ivey, letting Young think further a few seconds before Ivey spoke up again.
"We had the same hand," said Ivey, "except I had a flush and straight draw." Hearing Ivey uncharacteristically sharing information, another player asked him what he'd had on an earlier hand between the two of them.
Ivey looked up momentarily at the other player. "I just felt like telling him," he said.

Philipp Gruissem was all in and at risk preflop with against Jared Bleznick's . After the hand, Jamieson Pickering admitted to folding aces.
The board rolled out , and Gruissem was eliminated. While she was pushing, Bleznick tried to tip the dealer $100, but the dealer obviously refused.
"Jared," Josh Arieh said sternly from an adjacent table.
Arieh went on to explain that it's bad form to do what he was doing, and even if he could tip, it would be dispersed amongst all of the dealers. Phil Hellmuth chimed in as well, and while Bleznick listened to Arieh, he fired back a few words at Hellmuth.
"This guy folded aces," Bleznick said, pointing at Pickering. "That's something you would do."
Over at another table, Giuseppe Pantaleo, a member of Team Ivey, eliminated his boss. Phil Ivey moved all in for around 20,000 with the nut flush draw on a flop of with two clubs. Pantaleo called with , and held.

Hand-for-hand play has continued for well over a half-hour, and now they are approaching the end of Level 12 and the next scheduled break. Over at Table 441 players have found a way to make the bubble more interesting, with Will Failla leading the organization of a pool between the players betting on how many more hands the bubble will stay intact.
"BUST SOMEBODY!!!" Failla shouted moments ago as another hand was slowly being completed, indicating that he stands not only to profit by cashing in the event should someone bust, but also in the bubble pool.
The end of Level 12 has arrived, and players are now going for their 20-minute break. The blinds will stay at 800/1,600 when they return, and will stay there until the next elimination.
With many players having spent the break watching the end of the first quarter of the Spurs-Heat Game 7 final, all 73 have returned to their seats as hand-for-hand play on the Event #35 continues.
