Nolan Heats Up

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Robert Nolan
Robert Nolan

Robert Nolan has heated things up over the last level or so, getting up and over the 100,000-chip mark.

The biggest hand saw him drag a 60,000-chip pot flopping a set of queens against a nut flush draw. Not only did the flush miss, but Nolan managed to make a full house.

It appears he has the chip lead now.
