Dave Wiles got it in with the {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs} versus Alicia LaPorte Pachla's {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

She's running so hot she flopped him practically dead on the {j-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{q-Spades} board and he took tenth.

A Calm Came Over Them

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Things are relatively quiet at the final table of ten with Level 15 coming to a close.

A few players have moved in, but no one called. A typical tightening had gripped the final table participants, but the blinds are going up fast and some action should follow.

Level: 15

Blinds: 2,500/5,000

Ante: 500

The Final Table Is Set

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

James Miller shoved 40,000 and got the call from Martin Adzhyan with the {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}.

Miller had the dominated {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and whiffed on the {2-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} board to say goodbye 11th.

With that they've moved to a single table of ten and made a deal to take $50 off each of the top eight spots and pay ninth and tenth $200 each. That makes Miller the official bubble boy and everybody gets paid from here on out.
