Level 23: 15000/30000/30000
Entries: 1/127

Bash Ramahi came into heads-up play with the chip deficit but he managed to run it back up. Ryan Comely was running Pure through most of the final table, but the card rack dried up a bit when they got heads up.

In the final hand it was ace-king for Ramahi versus ace-five of spades for Comely and the ace-king held when neither player hit the board. Ramahi has nearly $500k in cashes on Hendon before this game, and while this one won't quite put him over the half-million mark, is should put him within $5k of it for sure.

Entries are open for 8 levels plus 45 minutes of breaks, so the last chance to enter the game should come shortly after 7 pm. After that, it will be a race to the finish as they'll play down to a winner before the day ends.

Most of my attention will be on the final Day of Event #5 and what looks to be a very exciting Player of the Series battle heating up, but once that game finishes, I'll move over to this one.
