The Championship is inching closer to the money bubble as Level 12 nears an end. They might get there before the second break but likely between then and dinner.

Three-time WPT Champions Club member Darren Elias is grinding his way through the day. He was in a battle of the blinds with Al Gomez to a 9d8c4h flop, Gomez bet 5,000 and Elias raised to 10,000. Gomez called then checked the 2s turn before Elias moved all in for 27,000. Gomez folded and Elias is still in the game.

Among those missing, two-time SHRPO Big 4 champ Alex Foxen. Earlier he was sitting with friend Chance Kornuth but his seat is currently empty with a lack of chips in front.
