Event 12: Break Time
The action has again slowed down. Majority of the pots have been taken down pre-flop with a raise although Domenic Apostolico is becoming more and more active ever since he doubled up. He has been using majority of his aggression with three-bets from the blinds which to this point, have gone uncontested.
The players have agreed to not take a full break, just a few minutes to use the bathroom and then action will be getting back underway. When they return the blinds will be 15,000/30,000 with a 3,000 ante. Here is how the players currently sit:
Domenic Apostolico - 1,450,000
Jerry Nunez - 460,000

Event 12: Both Players Double Through Palma
On a board reading [Qh][9h][7s][8h][6c] Nick Palma pushed forward a stack of green chips big enough to put Domenic Apostolico all-in.
"Really?" Domenic questioned as he leaned back in his chair pondering what to do.
After a few moments of thinking he said call. Palma knuckled the table.
"You win, nice hand" Palma said as he tossed his cards into the muck.
Apostolico tabled [Kh][10d] for a rivered straight and would double up to take the chip lead.
On the very next hand Jerry Nunez was all in and at risk holding [Ad][7d] against the [Jd][9d] of Nick Palma.
Palma turned towards Nunez with a smile "Good luck buddy."
"I'm going to need it against you" Nunez chuckled.
Sure enough the luck was more than enough as the dealer fanned the [7s][3d][7c][2h][9h] board which was good enough for Nunez to get the full double. The chip counts are now as follows :
Domenic Apostolico - 1,400,000
Jerry Nunez - 700,000
Nick Palma - 780,000

Players Remaining 4
On a board reading [Jh][Js][2s][8s] Dan Chalifour checked his option to Nick Palma, who pushed in a bet of 100,000. Before the chips even crossed the bet line Chalifour announced all in and Palma snap called. It would appear Palma had run down another player at the table but would still have to fade a few cards on the river as he turned a flush with [Ks][4s] against the [Jd][5c] of Chalifour. The [3c] on the river would not fill up Chalifour and he is sent to the rail in 5th place with a nice pay day of $11,428.

Players Remaining 5
Nick Palma opened the action to 35,000 on the button and was immediately three-bet by Dan Chalifour from the small blind to 100,000. James Frangoulidis folded from the big blind and action was back on Palma. He wasted little time in pushing out two stacks of red for a four-bet to 235,000. Chalifour quickly called and they were heads up to the flop.
[Qh][6h][8c]
Both players opted to check and would see the [Ac] on the turn. Chalifour again checked but Palma would not be giving any more free cards. He put out a bet of 130,000 and was quickly called. The river was the [4s] and Chalifour would check one last time. Palma announced all-in and Chalifour was visibly frustrated. He dropped the chips he was shuffling in his hand and sat back in his chair trying to review the action in the hand. After a few minutes he asked Palma if he would show if he folded and Palma said yes.
After another minute or so he released his cards into the muck and Palma tabled the [Qd][Qs] good for a flopped top set.
Palma now sits on over 1,300,000 chips as he takes a commanding chip lead over the rest of the table.

"Just fold man, you don't want to go out on the bubble," exclaimed Palma.
Eventually the big blind slid forward the rest of his chips and the hands were tabled.

Small Blind: [Ah] [Kd]
The board ran out a clean [Jh] [9c] [Js] [2c] [3c] and the bubble was burst.

Level 16
Blinds 1500/3000/300
Players Remaining: 21
Bobby Riccuiti opened the action with a raise to 6,200 from under the gun and was called by She Lok Wong on the button. Brian Altman announced that he was all in from the small blind for a total of 30,500 and Stephen Chiovaro let out a sigh from the big blind as he was visibly frustrated.
After counting out a call and the rest of his chips numerous times, Chiovaro eventually folded and Ricciuti put in a reraise to 58,000 total. Wong released his cards from the button and we were heads up.
Altman: [Kh] [Qc]
Ricciuti: [Ac] [Jh]
The board ran out [Ah] [Ks] [5c] [9s] [2s] and Altman was sent home just 6 spots shy of the money.
Ricciuti now sits with well over 350,000 and is still the top stack left in the field.

Action folded around to Julio Martini in the cut-off and he opened the action with a raise to 7,500, only to be three-bet by Nick Palma on the button to 16,000. The blinds got out of the way and Martini went into the tank. After about a minute Palma removed one of his headphones.
"Did you fold yet?" Asked Palma with a smile.
The two continued with banter for another 2 or 3 minutes before Martini eventually folded.
