Level 15:  3,000/6,000 with a 6,000 ante
Flight C Players Remaining:  11 of 88

Flight C was dragging along at a slow pace late in the day, deep stacks and plenty of play with the bubble getting closer.

Then Maroun Akiki ended it in a hurry. Two players were sent out at the same time, negating the need to play hand-for-hand on the bubble, and the remaining 11 players set about bagging their chips.

Akiki took the overall lead with 648,000 and four more flights to go.

We will post the full chip counts as soon as they are available.
