Marty Mordechai sits with close to half of the chips in play

The second half of Level 31 has been all Marty Mordechai, as his constant aggression has won him pots without many showdowns, and when the few hands went to showdown...he had it.  Mordechai was up to 15,600,000 just moments ago, but doubled up Rafiki Brown after his A♠ K♥ < 10♦ 10♠ on a runout of 10♣ 8♦ 6♠ J♥ 7♣.  Brown's all in was for just under 3,000,000, putting him in second position after the double.

1. Eddie Uehara - 5,000,000
2. Rifiki Brown - 6,300,000
3. Michael Amato - 5,300,000
4. Marty Mordechai - 12,500,000
