Level 15 starts in 15 min

Level 14 just ended and we are down to 91 players (although that is not official). the bottom line is that we will play for at least one more level. If at that time we haven't broken the bubble, they will play until they do. We realistically could be here for two more levels assuming we are 10 off the bubble. Of course, the opposite could happen and we the bubble could break in two minutes after play resumes. Time will tell.

The chip leader is Chris Lyon who is sitting on just about 400k. Will Failla is at around 160k and Matt Stout is sitting on 190k.

Matt turned it around last level and said he really didn't understand it. "Cards just came, and people kept playing with me", said Matt. I witnessed one hand where, from the small blind, Matt raised the bb after the table had folded. The BB shoved his remaining stack which wasn't enough to illicit a fold from Stout holding any 2. The pot was now at 70k and the call from Stout sat less than 19k. He made that call proclaiming it was a gift, and opened up Js 5s.

The BB showed Ac Ks and the flop came As Ts 6h. The turn came a 5s giving Stout the flush and the bb a draw to the nut flush. Unfortunately for the bb, the river brough a meaningless Kh and ended his run. The bb had some words for Stout, and played them off as if he was talking to himself. Matt got a little upset over it for about 3 seconds. Right about the time the guy walked out of the room busted, and ready to turn in for the night.

"It's been a long day", said Stout. People are getting cranky, and after playing for that long and going out, no matter the circumstances, it's dejecting."

Alvin Delgado is the shortest stack in the field right now sitting at 35k and it looks as if he will need a miracle to make the money. We will let you know how he, and everyone else makes out.
