Natalie Hof:
Hof's top pair good kicker was good against her opponent's missed flush draw and she rose to one of the largest stacks in the tournament.
Rainer Kempe busted Event #68, but he still had five bounties to claim.
Four of the bounties were the minimum $1,000 but luckily, in a sense, Kempe hit the chest and went up to try it luck. With the current prizes left, Kempe had around a 1 in 3 chance of pulling a $50,000 or $100,000 bounty from the chest, but he got $25,000. Still, $29,000 in bounties is still a very respectable showing for the German crusher.
Daniel De Almeida just got a whole lot richer thanks to a little mystery bounty luck.
First, De Almeida hit the gold chest and picked the $100,000 ticket, much to the enjoyment of his brother
Caio De Almeida. He then drew another gold chest on the very next bounty ticket a few seconds later.
That ticket was worth $25,000 and amazingly both players remain in the tournament with 71 left.
Players have been sent on their last 15-minute break of the day. They will play 3 more 40-minute levels to conclude the night's action with 75 players remaining.
After break, blinds will increase to 150,000/300,000.
There were screams of celebration coming from Raed Abualfilat from across the room.
Abualfilat was showing on a board for a pair of aces, and the pocket sevens of Michael Smith were headed in the muck. Abualfilat moves up over five million, similar to Smith's new count.
Meanwhile, Nathan Gamble is sitting between the two and he has chipped up to nearly eight million. His swap buddy Steven Mccartney has passed 10 million.
