Brandon Byars came back from the break and asked for a rough guess off the leaders. He was told he was in the top two at the dinner break and went to work.

On one of the first hands back from dinner, Byars had the 9-seat all-in and in trouble with his QsQh dominating 9x9x. The Jd8c2d8d3s board was drama free to send another pot to Byars and get the field one person shorter. He’s over 130,000 midway through Level 9 and trying to chase down leader Maroun Akiki.
