Here is the seating chart:

When we arrived to the table, Rong Xu’s and David Bolduc Hamel’s were tabled, and so was the board. Xu’s chip count was then determined to be 145,500, while David had 145,000 – 1 chip less! With a $500 Bounty on the line, everything was double-checked, but the count was right, and David Bolduc Hamel walked away. Hard luck.

Rong Xu have now caught up to the leaders. On his own table, Carlos Gerones extended his lead. It seems that he orchestrated at least one elimination, and his stack is now at almost 500K – a monster on table 70. Play continues with 29 players on 4 tables, 5 eliminations away from the money.

After 14 levels of play, the leaderboard is headed by Carlos Gerones, who just had an amazing few levels. It is also the case for Kevin Macdonald and Michael Malm.
