Top Stacks Table
Level 17
: 7,000/14,000, 14,000 ante
There is an interesting dynamic right now on one of the tables on the bottom floor of the Dusk Till Dawn Cardroom and Casino.
Four of the tournament's top chip-stacks are all seated together including Mark Mcgovern (2,150,000), Anthony Elliott (2,100,000),
Enzo Del Piero (1,700,000) and Andrew Laurie (1,600,000).
Two of these four just faced off after Laurie three-bet Mcgovern on a 
flop. Mcgovern called and Laurie checked in the big blind when the 
turn card was revealed. Mcgovern bet 80,000 and Laurie called.
It was the 
on the river and Laurie passed the action over to his opponent. Mcgovern then opted to make a near to pot-sized bet of 300,000. Laurie took his time to think but bowed down to the bet and passed his hand.
