Event 18: TeamXFactor Tops in Chips

$2500 + $200 Double Play NL Championship

Many players see the flop for a raise and it comes 7 6 5.  Paul Marzarella, Steve Russell and one other player commit 2,000 chips to see the Queen on the turn.  It is 5,500 to see the river and again three players are in.  River was an 8, which put a 4-card straight on the board.  Steve Russell and Paul Marzarella got all their chips in the middle (the third player held pocket Kings and wisely folded). 

Steve held 86 for two pair, but Paul held 87 for top two pair to claim the pot.  He had Steve covered, so Steve was busted.  Paul 'TeamXFactor' Marzarella chipped up to ~140k and is definitely the chip leader at this point.
