Adrianne Hall opened from the hijack and Dana Katzenmeier three bet to 100,000. One player called from the small blind and Hall folded.

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and the small blind checked. Katzenmeier shoved all-in covering his opponent and the small blind called.

Dana Katzenmeier: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Small Blind: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Katzenmeier was ahead with his overpair, the turn was the {3-Hearts} and the river was the {8-Clubs} securing the knockout. Katzenmeier is now sitting on about 800,000 in chips.

Day 1 Chip Leaders Collide

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Pedro Prado
Pedro Prado

Day 1b chip leader Pedro Prado just took down the biggest pot of the $360 Regional so far, doubling through Day 1c and overall tournament chip leader Alex Madriaga.

The hand began with Madriaga limping from early position, getting calls from Ronnie Press on the button and Prado on the big blind blind.

All three players checked the {k-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop.

Prado bet 20,000 on the {3-Spades} turn, Madriaga raised to 45,000, Press went all-in for 90,000, Prado re-shoved for 469,000, and Madriaga called.

Ronnie Press: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Pedro Prado: {4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Alex Madriaga: {k-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Prado's turned straight left Prado looking for full house outs, but none came as the {q-Diamonds} fell on the river. Prado now holds the chip lead, with just under one million chips.
