Level 16: 1500/3K/ 500 ante
It may have taken a long time to burst the bubble from 13 to 12 players but they got there in a hurry once they returned from break.
Michael Chiappetta was contemplating his action with the board reading 
when he finally decided to move all-in. Ilias Liapis called about as quickly as possible.
Chiappetta picked up 
on the money bubble but they were in a lot of trouble against Liapis’ flopped full house with 
. There was no help for Chiappetta on the 
turn or 
river to make him the unlucky bubble boy.
Liapis picked up another $200 bounty and all players are now in the money.

Players are now on their 15 minute break. They are at 13 players, with 12 getting paid, and have been for the past hour. The closest we got to an elimination was when Bernard Lubitz went all in for his last 7300 and was looked up by Mike Chiapetta.

The board didn’t burst the money bubble as it came 
and Lubitz doubled up.
As players return from break, they’ll be moving onto Level 16 of play.

Level 11: 500/1K/100 ante
We have 27 players left in Event 11, and on one of the 3 tables we see Jonathan Marks (Weston, FL) re-raise after a 10 falls on the river. His opponent makes the call and Marks tables pocket 10s for a rivered set. His opponent turns over his 
in frustration, which was good until that final card was dealt.
Marks is currently the chip leader in Event 11 with around 225K (225bbs) to his stack. Some other notable stacks are Zoltan Czinkota (Davie, FL) with 150K and Mohamed Maghraoui (Tampa, FL) with 112K.

Level 3: 75/150
It was a slow start for the big bounty tournament but action is picking up. There were just a few tables running when it kicked off at noon but it is quickly filling up with newcomers, including several who busted out from Day 2 of Event 8.
There are currently 80 players registered with plenty of time to register. Tournament staff did have to issue a reminder that this is a freeze-out as a few people assumed they could re-enter if they were eliminated.

Level 1: 25/50
It’s a big day at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino as the ballroom will be packed with four separate tournaments running throughout the day.
The first of the day is built for those poker players who love action. Event 11 is scheduled as a 1-day $560 buy-in No Limit Hold’em tournament where players earn $200 for each opponent they knock out of the tournament. It is also running as a freeze-out so players only have one shot at the title, no re-entry is allowed so players need to do the most with their one bullet into the tournament.
Players will sit behind stacks of 10,000 and play 30-minute levels with late registration open until the start of Level 7.
Tournament instructions are complete and cards are in the air.
