At the last break just over one level ago, there was one player over 500K in chips and 2 or 3 within 40K of that watershed count – but in just one level we now find at least 6 other players have joined Josh Kimmel over 500K and with the bubble starting to get closer there will definitely be lots of opportunity for other healthy stacks to chip up in the next little while.
Some of the players over the 500K mark now are Amir Babakhani, Eric Afriat, William R Mullen, and Sammy Chao.
Ironically, Josh had to win a big hand to get back over the 500K mark after having lost a couple of pots recently. We arrived on the river and André Turcotte in Seat 1 had bet 30K on a board that read 
and Josh raised to 75K. André thought for a few minutes but then made a frustrated fold.
