Souls Crushed As Bubble Nears

Level 19 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

With about a half-hour left in Level 19 at the end of which the dinner break is scheduled, we just saw two eliminations in quick succession to reduce the field from 70 to 68.

On one table it was Ylon Schwartz calling his short-stacked neighbor's push in a blinds battle, with Schwartz holding {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and his opponent {J-Spades}{3-Hearts}. The board came {2-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades}, and Schwartz's pair of sixes were best.

Meanwhile Alex Ortiz called an opponent's all-in for about 40,000 holding {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and saw his opponent turn over {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}. The flop came {5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} to hit Ortiz, and after the {3-Clubs} turn and {7-Hearts} river another player had fallen.

"Crushing souls, one three-outer at a time," joked a player across the table from Ortiz.

Only the top 63 will cash.
