Here are the latest counts on the way into the dinner break.

Seat 1	Chris Ferguson	$483,000
Seat 5	Dustin Fox	$535,000
Seat 6	Sylvester Geoghegan	$162,000
Seat 7	Mark Bonsack	$243,000

 

Sylvester Geoghegan has seen his stack whittled away to a critical level but managed to more than double-up a moment ago after winning a pre-flop all-in race. It began with Mark Bonsack opening to $36,000 from under the gun and Dustin Fox making the call from the small blind. Vesty began counting out his chips and, after a bit of thought, announced all-in.

It was $65,000 total to Bonsack and he quickly re-shipped all-in over the top. Fox let his hand go and we saw it was a race between Bonsack's pocket fours and Vesty's J Q. The flop came Q T 9 and Vesty took the lead with his pair of queens. The J 6 on the turn and river left Vesty with the check mark and he nearly triples to about $170,000.

Mark Bonsack ended up in a battle of the blinds with Chris Ferguson and pushed a big $60k bet in on the 7 9 8 flop. Jesus thought about it for a few minutes and moved all-in, sending Bonsack into the tank for what seemed like an eternity.

In the end he would lay the hand down and see Ferguson rake the pot.

Here are the official counts at the beginning of the break. Interestingly, it looks like there is about $36,000 less chips now than when we started the tournament. PL.com has made the tournament staff aware of the discrepancy and they are looking into possible causes.

Seat 1	Chris Ferguson	$428,000
Seat 5	Dustin Fox	$507,000
Seat 6	Sylvester Geoghegan	$79,000
Seat 7	Mark Bonsack	$370,000

 

 

The players are back from the break and the cards are in the air for the beginning of Level 15.

Dustin Fox has been very active in the last level and just picked up another pot before the break with a bit of pre-flop aggression.

Mark Bonsack opened to $24,000 from the button and after Jesus folded his small blind, Fox re-raised another $50,000 from the big. After a bit of time in the tank Bonsack released his hand and watched the pot pushed to his opponent.

Time for another 15-minute break as Level 14 comes to a close.

Sylvester "Vesty" Geoghegan has played a few hands, but hasn't won any pots of note here at the final table and his stack is moving in the wrong direction at warp speed.

In a battle of the blinds with Mark Bonsack, Vesty check-called a $10k bet on the 5 6 Q flop and again on the J turn. It turned out he smartly laid down a $40k bet on the 5 river, however, after Bonsack showed a five.

Regardless, it looks like it won't be long before the Irishman will have to ship it or face the wrath of the increasing blinds and antes.

 

Dustin Fox has been putting his newly acquired chips to work and just got involved in a moderately sized pot with Chris Ferguson. It began with Jesus opening to $24,000 from the small blind and Fox calling from the big. The flop came Q 5 4 and Ferguson led out with a bet of $35,000.

Fox made the call and the turn revealed the 9. Both players checked and after the A hit the river Jesus checked it to his opponent once again. Fox began counting out chips and eventually settled on a bet of $50,000. Ferguson took one last look at his hand before dumping it in the muck and conceding the pot. With that hand Fox has taken over the chip lead.

Here are the approximate chip counts for the four remaining players.

Seat 1	Chris Ferguson	$482,000
Seat 5	Dustin Fox	$415,000
Seat 6	Sylvester Geoghegan	$127,000
Seat 7	Mark Bonsack	$335,000
