Level 28 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 367
Players Remaining: 6

Level 27 has come and gone, with not too much action to speak of.  Daphne Addison did make a big call against John Nguyen, as the two reached a river of a board that read A♣ K♥ 5♦ Q♠ J♠.  After calling a bet on the turn, Addison was faced with a 275,000 bet on the river from Nguyen, which was more than seventy percent of Daphne's stack.  Addison ended up putting the chips in for a call, and watched as Nguyen tabled 5♠ 7♠.  Addison quickly showed his A♠ 3♠, making a pretty big call on a board with a texture like it had.  That would get Addison out of immediate danger, but he enters Level 28 with just over twenty bigs:

1. Brian Haines - 710,000 (11bb)
2. Daphne Addison - 1,350,000 (22bb)
3. John Nguyen - 850,000 (12bb)
4. Eric Polirer - 1,050,000 (17bb)
5. Joshua Hillock - 1,200,000 (20bb)
6. Michael Tait - 2,400,000 (40bb)
