Randy Raji
They got to the money bubble in no time but in no hurry to go anywhere what they go there. It took seven hands before we had an all in that was called, not counting one with big slick versus big slick to chop.
The final hand saw Randy Raji open the action and the small blind player shipped all in for 108,000. Raji called and they were off to the races.
Raji: Small Blind:
It was a fair race and Raji needed his tens to hold to burst the bubble. There were two face cards on the but neither paired the small blind player. The turn and river finished the board to send the short stack player out while putting the rest in the money.
MT Tawfik finished the day with the chip lead, his 477,000 topping the 350,000 of Raji.

It was a race between the bubble and one more break. The break won.
There were 21 players remaining as Level 14 was closing to leave them only one elimination away from hand-for-hand on the money bubble. Tournament staff sent them on break, colored off the purple chips, and they returned to start Level 15.
Two and a half minutes into the fresh levels and they lost one. Tournament staff paused the clock and will take two minutes off for each hand until one more player is eliminated. Once that is done, the remaining 19 players will bag their chips for Day 2 in the money.
