Charles Johnson Jr. appears to have Kim Long Trieu's number right now, winning on opposite ends of the same flip moments ago.
First, Johnson shoved 12,000 with big slick and Trieu called with sevens. Johnson won that flip, then jammed his own pair of sevens for 24,000 the next hand.
This time Trieu had big slick. He called again, but missed.
Chris Gras has changed tables, but the results have remained the same. He just busted another player and moved well across the 200,000 mark.
Should Gras keep this up, plans may change here on Day 1a of the 2017 WNYPC Main Event. They are scheduled to finish 15 levels today, but if they get down to 11 players left they'll cut it off there.
When Budwey Salhab heard Chris Gras was closing in on 300,000 across the room he became green with envy and went straight to work trying to run his own stack up.
It worked. Salhab is now in a dead heat with Gras for the chip lead here in Level 13 after cracking one player's pocket aces. A set of tens did the trick. He's a little less green now.
Damian Baird just clipped Chris Gras in a big way.
With 65,000 already in the middle, Baird open-shoved the river for 96,000 after hitting a Broadway straight. Gras snap-called with two pair queens and tens.
Gras still has a decent stack, but it's Baird threatening Budwey Salhab for the lead now.
Kim Long Trieu never truly recovered from his earlier tangle with Charles Johnson Jr. and now he's out.
He ran into David Battaglia's trip threes for the rest of his stack, although Trieu can take solace in the fact he did outlast Johnson, who went out somewhere along the way as well.
