Level 8 Complete, One Hour of Play Remaining
![[user25067]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
With three and a half of today's four scheduled levels complete, over 1,000 of today's 2,412 starters have already been eliminated. Dennis Phillips, Matt Glantz, Lee Markholt, Greg "FBT" Mueller, Brock Parker, David Bach, Quinn Do, and Playboy model Sarah Underwood all ended their tournament in the last level and approximately 1,400 players remain in the Day 2A field.
Lex Veldhuis was cruising with close to 100,000 in chips but fell all the way to 42,000 after losing a few unfortunate hands, including a coinflip where his pocket sixes fell to ace-jack. Michael Mizrachi, however, took his stack up to 142,000 in a hand that you're sure to see on television later this summer. Mizrachi was all-in against two players, his pocket aces holding up against pocket kings AND pocket queens! Allie Prescott is also climbing the leaderboard-- he's up to 155,000 after eliminating Soren Kongsgaard.
The plan is to play one more hour, finishing off half of Level 9 before we bag and tag for the night.
