Pernia turned over , but he was dominated by the big blind’s .

The Monster Stack field is dropping fast and down to seven tables after less than 90 minutes. The payout line is getting long and we will catch up on results once things settle.

We still have plenty of Tampa regulars in the game trying to keep the Florida win streak alive this series. Among them we found Justin Zaki, John Alegria, and Cheri Beatty trying to keep the ring in the house.

Players Remaining:  92 of 1,371

Level 22 came to an end and tournament staff sent players on a quick 10-minute break so that 1K chips could be taken out of play. There was a quick run to the payout desk over the first 40 minutes and the field dropped quickly.

David Tuthill did not join them. He found an early double when his was good against on the board and moved up to 460,000.

Tuthill is on a nice run over the first part of the series and he took the lead in the Casino Championship race last night. He won the $400 Turbo event on Saturday for his second career ring and finished sixth place last night in the $1,125 Pot Limit Omaha game.
