Event 14 (Day 2): On The Bubble

Level 16 (Blinds 1,500/3,000/400)
Players Remaining: 13
Chip Average: 193,000

Mark Castaldo has grinded a short stack for most of the day today, but has just moved above average after eliminating Duane Mitchell two from the money.  Castaldo had just picked up a pot from Frank Bonacci, when his shove saw no resistance from Frank.  The chips weren't even stacked before he'd get it all-in (pre-flop) with Duane Mitchell (players were within 15,000 of each other):

Mitchell: K K       Castaldo: AK♣

Flop: A JQ♠

Turn: 5♣

River: 7

Castaldo chips up to 220,000 with that pot, and players are now hand for hand.  Giuseppe Serio is under (10) big blinds and the moment, but James Bucci and Tim Little also have stacks half of the average.
