The legend, Victor Ramdin, is in the mix with 208,900.
Ronald Sims doesn’t want to think about the two shoves in front of him on the last hand.

Michael Bonita hates folding to an 11 bb rip with QJs but does….
…but it saves chips for this spot against Skip.
Chip leader Hyon “Skip” Kim almost made a terrific laydown when he realized he was being trapped, but ultimately couldn’t let go of 
, reluctantly paying off 
in a flop spot.
Michael goes from short to average stacked in one hand. Skip moves back to 420,000.
Meanwhile on two, more flop action yields a new big stack. On the 
, Sasha leads, gets a call and then Yuriy Kuorynskyy raises. Sasha gets out of the way, but the original caller now goes for it all with , doubling Yuriy to 410,000 in a tough exit.
We’re bagging soon.

Mike is experiencing a resurgence, now well past 300,000.

Event 12 players are into the final two levels of day 1 play. Bagging and tagging will take place no later than 2 AM.
Since the last update, Skip, on table 4, has drained a few more chips from his opponents and has 425,000.
Ryan Sullivan has joined the leaders, now with 345,000 on 7.
Pull seat 1 in case of water landing.
Michnik, left, can’t make a miraculous fold this time, paying off the aces. He’s in the danger zone now.

Hyon, aka Skip, holding 385,000, has now pulled ahead of long time front runner Sasha, now at 300,000.
From Nirath’s view in the two seat, a very tough spot for Michnik, left. Harding, all in, feels no pressure and is laughing. Nirath wants the call.
Mike Michnik found himself in a very strange spot after getting involved from the BB with 
. After Rean Nirath checked the flop from the SB, Michnik found a pretty natural lead for 9000 on 
, only to be jammed on by the PFR Ken Harding for another 25,000 more.
Fair, but then Rean now jammed as well, and for a lot more, maybe 110,000. Puzzled by the interest in a dangerous board, and essentially covered, Mike laid it down.
Nirath showed 
while 
was Harding. A narrow but excellent escape on a blank runout. Harding is out, and Rean moves to a healthy 190,000.
Great decision by Mike Michnik.

Nothing in my hands, nothing up my sleeves: Ryan Mostafa.
In a field that normally likes to fight, Ryan Mostafa gets a blind min-raise open through. His table shortly disappears, as well.
More tricks: Dentale cracks a slowplayed AA with 87dd and gets a needed triple.
Hyon “Skip” Kim, now closing on Sasha, has been making the pros’ chips disappear while pleading innocence. Note little smile.
“I’m your bread and butter, your bread and butter,” Hyon repeats.
Meanwhile, Sasha Sabbaghian’s fast rise has slowed. He’s still ahead with 320,000 but the other stacks are catching up.

As Event 12 players head into a short break, Sasha Sabbaghian continues to set the pace, now with nearly 330,000.
Affleck leads river on Qh 9c 7d 9s 3d but folds to Sasha’s raise to 36,000.
Mike does buy back in. Dylan Gang delivers a birthday raise, though.
On 15, Jackie Liu won’t escape her weird poker uncles, TJ Shulman and Will Failla, until her table breaks. Harrison Dobin looks on.
