During that long first hand when players were waiting for Angel Guillen to make his decision, Samad Rashid was busy counting the chips of his neighbor, Justin Filtz.
"380… 400… 420," said Rashid, noting that Filtz -- our current chip leader -- has about 420,000. "Why did you come back?" said Rashid. "You could get some sleep in the room, man. Let us all bust out and come back later!"
Filtz chuckled, looking content in his seat as the next hand was finally being dealt. A count of Rashid's chips shows he has 148,000.
During that lengthy first hand back from the break, Angel Guillen and Jude Ainsworth were engaged in a standoff of sorts that lasted well after all of the other tables had completed their hands.
The board read and there was close to 20,000 in the middle. Guillen had checked, and Ainsworth pushed all in. Guillen, with but 30,400 left behind, tanked for several minutes.
Noticing the tournament director standing nearby, Guillen asked "Is everyone waiting for me?" "This is the the last table, yes," came the reply. Another minute passed before finally Guillen folded. Ainsworth flipped over his hand -- for a straight -- and Guillen tapped the table.
Then came the announcement of Antony Ruberto's early bustout from across the room -- they were in the money! -- of which Guillen had been unaware when he was tanking. The man from Mexico broke into a wide, relieved-looking grin.
Guillen still has that stack of just over 30,000, while Ainsworth now sits with 82,000.
We're back, and although the clock says Level 15, we're still technically at the end of Level 14, playing 1,000/2,000/300 until the bubble bursts. We will then switch the limits at that time, and play out the rest of the 60-minute level.
We've reached the end of Level 14 and the scheduled one-hour dinner break. In sixty minutes, 79 players will be returning to chips. And all but one will be making the money.
