Hand-For-Hand Play Begins
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
The tournament director has just announced for all tables to stop play at the completion of their current hand, signaling the beginning of hand-for-hand play as the tournament has now reached the bubble with 129 players remaining.
A double-elimination on Table 24 of Spencer Wright and Phillip Chin caused the announcement, as both players got all in with ace-queen preflop against the pocket jacks of Nirath Rean, who said the runout came 
. He now has 244,000 and is off to a fast start on the day.
