Atzlan Gil Soars Into The Lead

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We have discovered how Atzlan Gil managed to go from zero to hero and lead this fantastic tournament.

He found himself heads up on a flop reading {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, a flop that Gil bet 2,400 into. Sakia Nicolau then raised to 10,000 only to see Gil move all-in! Nicolau made the call and the hands were flipped onto their backs.

Gil: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for middle set
Nicolau: {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for top pair

The turn and river were the {4-Diamonds} and {q-Spades} respectively and with that Gil found himself in possession of more than 150,000 chips and has since added to that enormous stack.
