Brian Lemke is now up to 175,000 after eliminating a short-stacked Jesse Rios. The chips were in the middle preflop with Lemke's pocket jacks in control against the pocket sixes of Lemke.
The board was spread and Lemke collects a nice pot and sends Rios to the rail.
Danny Illingworth and Nenad Medic have just played a big pot with Illingworth again taking it down to add to his fortress of chips.
We caught the action on the turn with the board spread . Medic checked to Illingworth who fired 31,500. Medic made the call, and then check-called the 63,500 chip bet of Illingworth on the river.
The unstoppable Illingworth revealed for trips to take it down.
Illingworth now has a massive 945,000 chips spread out over approximately 40 stacks of chips across the table.
Interestingly, the other big stack of the field, Billy Kopp has just been moved to this table which is now very heavily stacked with chips.
Fabian Quoss opened with a raise under the gun to 15,000 before Mike Sowers popped it up to 42,500 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Quoss who moved all in with Sowers making the call.
Quoss:
Sowers:
The board ran out and Sowers' kings prevail to double up to 464,000 with Quoss slipping to 480,000.
After being down to his last 1,500 chips earlier in the day, the remarkable comeback of David Inselberg continues as he just raked in a large, but rather strange pot, without contest.
David Pham opened with a raise to 17,500 from middle position before Hasan Habib made it 55,500 from the button. The action was then with Inselberg, who moved all in over the top for 123,500 in total.
Pham flashed his cards to our reporter, and later told the table that he folded pocket queens, and amazingly Habib also folded to give Inselberg the pot as he moves up to 215,000 chips.
Pham sighed at the fold of Habib and informed him that he had folded queens. Habib's reply was, "That's impossible...I folded pocket queens too!"
Nick Grippo shoved his stack in with and went racing with Steve Verret who called with .
A flop of put Grippo in front and the on the turn didn't change a thing. The on the river gave Grippo quads and a pot worth 254,000. Verret slipped back to 110,000.
