Million Dollar Man

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

William Ho just felted [Removed:339], waking up with two queens in the big blind when [Removed:340] open-shoved {j-}{9-}.

He's now up to one million in chips. Here's how Ho and the rest of the big stacks look now halfway through Level 20:

The Western New York Poker Reaper

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
William Ho
William Ho

William Ho is collecting tournament lives in this event like he's the Western New York Poker Reaper.

He check-raised all in on a {9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop with {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and got the call from his heads-up opponent on {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

Ho faded all trouble on a brick-like run out, claimed another victim and added to his ever growing lead.

Johnson Wakes Up

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Charles Johnson
Charles Johnson

Start of day chip leader Charles Johnson Jr has been quiet most of the day, but just made a little noise moments ago.

He fired 90,000 into a pot over 200,000 with the board reading {A-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, forcing his opponent to fold and moving over the 400,000 mark.

Peter Raimondi
Peter Raimondi

On an {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{2-Hearts} board, Peter Raimondi responded to a 22,000 chip bet from Vince Palma by pushing 65,000 across the line.

He took his time before doing it, but Palma called, only to muck when Raimondi showed {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for the wheel.

As Raimondi climbs the counts, Palma is headed in the opposite direction.

Ray Day

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Ray Williams just moved into contention getting it in with {a-Hearts}{a-Spades} versus a shorter stack's {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} on a flop full of bricks after flatting a rather large three-bet preflop.

Williams' heads-up opponent shoved the flop and hit the rail when Williams snap-called.

Carney Wins The Prize

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The board rolled out {6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{6-Hearts} with Carney doubling and Santoro continuing his slide from the top of the counts.
