Event 17: New Chip Leader

$1,000 + $90 NL (6 Max)     

Blinds are up to 1,200/2,400 with 30 antes.

 Bob Courtney

On a flop of T 7 5, seat 1 was all-in against Bob Courtney.  Seat 1 held pocket 4s and was crushed by Bob's T9 (pair of Tens).  The last two came 9 J and Bob claimed the pot, sending his opponent home.  Bob chipped up to ~220k.

20 players remain.

Jamie Kerstetter moved in for ~50k, then Brock Parker moved in.  Everyone else got out of the way.  Jamie's AT suited was dominated by Brock's AQ off, but the board came A J 5 3 T and Jamie caught a 3-outer on the river to survive and double up.

Brock was left with about 5k.  He got all-in and tripled up, then was all-in again with two players, who checked to the river as the board came 7 4 2 9 3.   Bob Courtney bet and Jamie Kerstetter folded.  Brock showed pocket Queens, but Bob held pocket 3s and had hit a set on the river.  Bob's now up to almost 250k.

6-max specialist Brock Parker was busted by a 2-outer in 20th place, just two away from the money.

19 players remain and they are now playing hand-for-hand.
