Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Brian Patterson
Brian Patterson

A huge pot has suddenly vaulted Pittsburgh, PA's Brian "XXX" Patterson into the top spot on the leader board heading into the flight's final break.

He picked up the {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} and flopped a set when the {q-Spades}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds} was revealed. Patterson's opponent had top-pair top-kicker and they traded raises before getting it all in for over 200,000.

Patterson turned quads and when the dust settled, he was standing on top of a mountain of chips good enough for the lead.

Below you can see how the rest of the leaders stack up:
