The field has been dropping at quite a rapid pace and it's the result of a lot of big pots being played across the tournament floor. [Removed:150] was near the top of the leaderboard at one point in time but he clashed in a monster hand with Nick Petrangelo. The American came out on top, eliminating Iadisernia and raking in a pot that vaulted him over 11,000,000 chips. Michael Addamo just joined the table with a healthy 13,000,000 and should be interesting to see how things develop.
Ema Zajmovic was up to her old tricks again in a hand with Joey Weissman. On a board reading 
, Zajmovic check-called a bet of 360,000 from Joey Weissman. The 
on the river double-paired the board and Zajmovic moved all in for 925,000 effective. Weissman went into the tank for well over two minutes with his tournament life on the line but ultimately laid down his hand.
Some other big names to drop recently include John Racener, Matt Stout, Bryn Kenney, and partypoker pro Anatoly Filatov. There are just 110 players remaining heading into level 16 with the blinds moving to 35,000/70,000 and a 70,000 big blind ante.

While Matt Berkey once held a huge chip lead over the rest of the field, he was quickly caught by a few players and they all seemed to flock towards his chip stack. Players like Mike Watson, Sam Greenwood, and Michael Addamo all recently joined the same table and they brought hefty stacks with them.
Addamo currently holds the largest stack at the table with nearly 10,000,000 followed by Mike Watson with just under 8,000,000. Berkey slipped down to 7,800,000 and Sam Greenwood holds 7,500,000. Between those four players, they currently hold 666 blinds which looks awfully intimidating to the other players. A couple players who won't be bothered are Erik Seidel and Benjamin Pollak who are currently sitting with below-average chip stacks and have some work to do.
However, the chip lead belongs to Steve O'Dwyer who has spun up a massive stack of over 10,000,000 chips. He is currently the only player to reach the seven-figure mark thus far and he is closely followed by Chance Kornuth. The players are about to head on a 15-minute break with 122 still remaining.

Christopher Kruk and Keith Lehr were the two big stacks at the table and they butted heads in a pot with over 1,000,000 chips in the middle preflop. The flop came 
and Kruk check-called a bet of 515,000 from Lehr. The turn was the 
and both players checked to the 
on the river. Two more checks and Kruk showed 
while Lehr tabled to scoop the pot.
While Kruk and Lehr were in the middle of their hand, Kristen Bicknell was seen leaving her seat. Even though Bicknell won't be making the money in this event, she has bagged a monster stack in the Main Event where she will look to turn things around.
Just a couple of tables over, there was a raise to 125,000 and Sam Soverel flat-called on the button. David Peters was in the big blind and moved all in for 1,115,000. The initial raiser folded but Soverel called to put Peters at risk. Soverel turned over 
and was flipping against the 
of Peters. The board ran out 
and Soverel's set of sevens sent Peters to the rail.

As we walked back into the poker room, Johannes Becker was seen getting up from his seat to leave the tournament area. Matt Berkey was the one dragging in a hefty pot and once he was done stacking, he had over 9,000,000 chips in front of him. That was by far and away good enough to claim the chip lead just moments after the dinner break.
Meanwhile at another table, Ali Imsirovic, who was the early Day 1a chipleader, found himself all in with pocket queens against the 
of Steve O'Dwyer. The flop fell 
and Imsirovic looked poised to score a double up. The 
on the turn gave O'Dwyer a flush draw to go with his one overcard and the on the river completed his flush. Imsirovic was eliminated and O'Dwyer scooped the pot to climb over 6,000,000 chips.

The action is back underway which means late registration is officially closed. Simon Trumper made an announcement to the players that registration was still cutoff at the appropriate time despite the fact that the dinner break was extended by 30 minutes. That means, there will be a total of 394 entries, just six short of the 400 to make the guarantee.
The live stream is also getting started and will become available with hole cards in 30 minutes. The feature table includes Leon Tsoukernik, Cary Katz, Darren Elias, and Matt Glantz. There should be a lot of fun table talk and you can check out all of the action right here.
