Level 18
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
The completed board read 
and there was already well over 100,000 in the middle of the table. Andy Spears checked over to Brian McCormick who cut out a bet of 90,000. After a moment of pondering, Spears announced a call and watched as McCormick flipped over 
for two pair. Spears mucked his hand McCormick pulled in the pot. McCormick is now sitting around 570,000 in chips. This pot moves Spears out of the chip lead for the first time in a few levels.
