Level 22 - Blinds 10,000/20,000/2,000
We lose two more players in back to back hand as David Clarke goes home in 15th place, and David Inselberg gets knocked out in 14th by Tomasz Gliniecki. Both players will be collecting $6,839 for their finishes, and we are creeping closer and closer to the final table bubble.

Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): POT OF THE TOURNAMENT!!!
Level 21 - Blinds 8,000/16,000/2,000
And there you have it...Jonas Wexler (South Hampton, PA) is over 4,000,000!!!! It was the two biggest stacks of the tournament going at it, on a flop of K Q 3. The action was five-bet all-in from Glantz, and Jonas called:
Flop: K♦ Q♣ 3♦
Glantz: 10♦ J♦ Wexler: K♠ Q♥
Turn: 6♣
River: 2♠
Glantz would miss both his draws and Jonas Wexler is now the overwhelming chip leader of the remaining 16 players, with over 4,000,000.
Just won a 3.6 mil pot my KQ vs @mattglantz 10j dd all in on flop of KQcdd. Pretty sure we were first and second in chips to start hand!!!!

Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): In The Money!!!!
Level 20 - Blinds 6,000/12,000/2,000
We have reached the money as Andrew Wu (Edison, NJ) is the bubble boy. He left himself with less than the small blind on his final hand, and on a board of 7 8 9 10 5, Jared Jaffee announced two pair (after Jaffee and Glantz checked each street). Jaffee showed 8 9, while Andrew still hadn't looked at his cards. Everyone surrounded Andrew as he looked, and he unfortunately tabled 7 8 for a lesser two pair.
The tournament directors are now redrawing the final 27 players.

There are now 40 players remaining, with a chip average is exactly 400,000. Players will be on break in (6) minutes, and return to Level 19 and blinds of 5,000/10,000/1.000.

Level 17 - Blinds 3,000/6,000/1,000
We approached Table 50 as the action was already on the river, with the board K♥ 9♣ 7♣ 2♦ 3♦. Jonas Wexler (South Hampton, PA) had a river bet of 115,000 that his opponent was tanking.
