Conron Is King

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
David Conron
David Conron

David Conron has vaulted into the chip lead taking all of Bruce Pace's chips with him.

With more than 100,000 chips already in the middle on an {8-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop, Pace and Conron responded to a 35,000-chip bet from Brian McCormick by pushing all in.

McCormick got out of the way and the cards were revealed with Conron holding {a-Clubs}{a-Spades} and Pace on {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

Pace's fall from grace was complete after the {k-Hearts} turn and {k-Spades} river came down.

From Zero to Hero

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

In typical tournament poker fashion, East Amherst's Peter Owczarczak has suddenly vaulted to a spot near the top of the chip counts after a day lost in anonymity.

First he tripled up his paltry 25,000-chip stack when he picked up aces. A few hands later it was queens that helped him drag some more loot.

For the the past level he simply hasn't lost a hand and he's certainly played his fair share on the way to building a contending stack here at the final three tables.

Jason Stockfish

Bruce Pace gave away a few chips to his neighbor, doubling up his short stack with {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs} versus {a-Spades}{10-Hearts} all in pre-flop.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, Jason Stockfish's stack has exploded and he's now on the top of the counts

Re-Setting The Pace

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Bruce Pace
Bruce Pace

Bruce Pace has just reclaimed his spot at the top of the chip counts and sent Richard Arnone packing in the process.

After Arnone flopped a pair of aces, Pace managed to turn {q-}{6-} into two pair on the river and get him to commit all of his chips.

Pace is now the first player past 200,000.
