Victor Nissim

Unlike yesterday’s drawn out money bubble, Flight F got there and into the money without going into hand-for-hand mode. Tournament staff broke a table and before the new seats were warmed up, Tables 21 and 22 each lost a player to put the field in the money.

Victor Nissim did the job at Table 21 and bagged the day’s biggest stack with 796,000 followed by Eric Nadal with 684,000.

Full chip counts will be posted as soon as they are available.

The next break has come and gone and they should not see another one until they burst the money bubble. Only 41 players remain and 30 will advance, unless we hit another slowdown like Flight C, it should be a quick finish.

Jim Morrissey is the new big stack in the room, leading the field with a huge stack worth 547,000 while Steve Dees is in second with 404,000.
