Ahmet Nice raises to 3400 pre flop from mid position - UTG, who had limped - calls

flop 396 - UTG checks, Ahmet fires 8200 - UTG folds

[MarkTheShark]

After an initial raise, James Heath repops to 7k....then Sean Hicks in the SB shoves for his remaining 20k stack.

Initial raiser folds...James makes the call and shows KJ.

Sean tables the bullets, much to James" chagrin.

Board runs out a very uneventful 23793 and Sean doubles through James, who has him covered - but not by much!

[MarkTheShark]

Chip leader Van Thang Nguyen was already crushing the event with a 100k stack - he then got involved in a pot with another big stack (Henk Rieuwert) with the chips going on the turn - Van tabling AQ and his opponent KK.....board showing JTQT....river.......another Q.

That was for not far short of 200k.........Van now a huge chip leader with nigh on 300k

[MarkTheShark]

Down to 36 now - Michelle *Insert Surname Here*, Rich Baker, Lee Wyatt all still going
