Karma Buffet
Toronto, Canada's Colin Padgett, who finished 11th to bubble the final table of this event last year, just doubled up to over 100,000 in dramatic fashion.
He limped in under the gun with two queens. Ray Larouech limped two aces right behind him, and after two other callers came along for the ride, the player in the big blind made it 6,500.
Padgett had about 55,000 total and decided to jam it in before Ray LaRouech jumped out of his chair, screamed out "Yes," and slammed his aces on the felt with three players to act. They all folded, putting LaRouech at risk.
The early celebration cost LaRoueche some Karma points and inevitably a queen flopped. LaRouche had a gutshot, but whiffed, and as he says goodbye, Padgett heads into the dinner break with a stack.
That dinner break starts now with 84 left in it and Paul McLean still ahead of them all. Play will resume at around 7 p.m. local time. Registration and reentry is still open until then.
