Opponent: 
"You play well sir, you play well" commented one player at the table as Boatman was pushed the pot.
"Thank you. It doesn't hurt to flop top set!" added Boatman as he climbed to 140,000 in chips.
With a raise to 600 from middle position in front of him, David Bach made the call before Matt Savage put in a three-bet to an unknown amount. The original raiser folded but Bach called once again to see a flop of 
. Bach checked and Savage bet 3,200. Bach made the call.
The two players then checked the 
turn and 
river with Savage opening 
for the best hand to move up to 47,000. David Bach only recently joined this table to find Marcel Luske and Savage on his direct left for a pretty formidable day one lineup. Bach is back to 24,000.
Vicky Coren, who had been nursing a short stack for quite some time, got her remaining chips in preflop with and was called by an opponent in Seat 5 who held 
.
Coren was racing for her tournament life and it didn't look good when the flop came 
. Coren picked up a straight draw so she needed to hit a jack or ten to stay alive. The 
on the turn was no help and neither was the 
on the river.
Coren has been eliminated from the Main Event.
Judging by its size, the pot had already been raised and reraised when we saw the flop come down. A middle position player led out for 3,550 and Lauren Kling called from the cutoff. The 
on the turn put a potential flush on board. Mr. Middle Position checked and Kling checked behind. The river was a fourth club, the

Action folded to Eric Baldwin on the button and he raised to 800. The small blind got out of the way while the big blind decided to make the call. The flop came 
and the big blind checked. Baldwin threw in a standard continuation bet of 1,000 and the big blind mucked. Baldwin is sitting with 27,000.
On a board reading 
, Daniel Negreanu fired out 2,600 into a pot of 7,050.
His opponent made the call before Negreanu splashed the pot with two 5,000-denomination chips when the river landed the

Negreanu's opponent folded for the 10,000-chip bet and 'KidPoker' climbed to 52,300 in chips.
Every chip counts when you're trying to accumulate 240 million of them. Kristy gazes has an extra 3,000 chips in her stack after taking out a short-stacked opponent, all in pre-flop. Gazes held 
and had to fade her opponent's . One player mentioned that he folded an ace. The flop of kd] gave the player with ace-queen a straight draw, but it never materialized. Gazes' queens held on the turn and river .

In a nine-day tournament, surviving two levels doesn't seem like much of an accomplishment. It means that you're roughly 5% of the way towards your final goal of winning the Main Event and being appointed the world champion. But as the field goes on its second break of the day, there are plenty of players who started in today's field who would gladly trade places just to say they made it 5% of the way towards the finish line.
Notable bustaments from the last level include Scott Fischman, who pulled a vanishing act right in front of our eyes in the Blue Section of the Amazon Room; Juan Maceiras; Ryan Welch, who was one-outted with the good end of a set-over-set situation; and Men Nguyen, who won a bracelet this year and almost won a second.
David Williams continued to aggressively chip up last level, building a Day 1c-leading stack of 130,000. The next closest player is Barny Boatman with rougly 85,000 chips. Boatman won a large pot without showdown in what looked to be his set versus another player's over-pair.
The field will now go on break for twenty minutes. They'll then return for one more level before the dinner break.
