Anderson and Namazi Face To Face

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

For the last few hours, Steve Anderson and Abbas Namazi have jockeyed back and forth for the chip lead. When Namazi's table broke he landed right across from Anderson. The two players have just under 400,000 between them.

Jason Smith is also sitting at the table with 97,000. The remaining players at this table include: Jose Serratos, with over $500,000 in career earnings and three MSPT cashes, Mark Hodge, who has 11 MSPT cashes for a total of over $87,000, and Tim Ebenhoeh, who finished third in this event in 2013.

"Are all the chip leaders at this table?" asks Mike Ermie shortly before playing a hand with Steve Anderson. Ermie raised preflop to 2,400 and Anderson three bet to 6,000, Ermie called. The flop came {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Ermie checked to Anderson who bet 4,500, Ermie called. The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and both players checked. The river was the {10-Hearts} and Ermie decided to lead out for 13,500. Anderson thought about it for a little bit, but decided to call and showed {k-Clubs}{j-Spades} for a jack-high straight. Ermie showed {9-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a set of nines.
