Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Kristan Mackiewicz turned a baby spade flush and got it in against Rochester, NY's Patrick Anastasia in a 120,000-chip pot.
Anastasia had the 
and binked a spade on the river before celebrating like it was all over.
Mackiewicz then got two pair counterfeited on the river for the rest and she's out.
In the meantime, James Miller picked up aces and another 120,000 busting two players who got it all in preflop with 
and tens.
Now he's looking like a good bet to be celebrating when really is over.

They hit 30 heading into the next break and are redrawing again.
Budwey Salhab's head did not explode. Apparently he was bluffing.

Sal Incardona wins the award for best hat tonight. A Glittery Disco Ball Fedora will always win the day.
There's even some kind of on/off button on the side of it.
This hat is so magical, it may even be responsible for Incardona getting it in bad and going runner-runner Broadway in six-figure pot moments ago.

James Miller has vaulted over 200,000 and into the chip lead after taking all of William Ho's chips in a series of three hands.
They both hit an ace, but Miller's had Ho's 
crushed for 70,000. Miller doubled again when Ho ran a bad bluff into his queens, then he got all the rest of his chips making trip aces against a mucked hand.
Suddenly it's bye, bye William Ho, hello James Miller.

They're down to 40 here and redrawing for seats at the final four tables of ten.
They'll do it again at 30. Budwey Salhab's head will apparently explode the moment they do that. We're going to see if we can set up a live stream of it.
Once that goes off they'll give his stack to Veerab Zakarian, who has 100,000 now and figures to probably end up with them somewhere down the line anyway.
