Back Door Blockers
Level 6
: 250/500, 50 ante
Toronto, Canada's Joe Perruzza joins the leaders on a 70,000-chip stack after getting there through the back door against one opponent.
He flopped a flush draw versus top pair aces, then went runner-runner two pair. In the end, his opponent was willing to go with it and Perruzza snapped him off.
In the meantime, at the same table, Rick Block won the first seven hands he played to cruise to an early double up and more.
However, it's Chris Damick dominating one table over that remains the real story here. He hit a set of fives to bust one player and has now become the first one with a six-figure stack.
