Level 13
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Jeremy Detamore has been in the middle of the pack for most of the day. Recently, he's gone on a bit of a run which may have peaked when he took the chip lead and a massive chunk of Eli Stepanovich's stack.
Stepanovich has been among the leader throughout the day and could chalk up the massive pot to just a cooler.

, for trips. Stepanovich had flopped top, top but was still behind the over pair of Detamore.
Detamore is poised to finish atop Day 1a, while Stepanovich might have to do some work to guarantee his spot.
