keeping Otts in the lead. The turn changed nothing as it was the

Otts sighed in frustration and would end up getting the last of his chips in on the next hand with ![]()
only to run into ![]()
and he was unable to get his own miracle and would be eliminated.
We got to the table with approximately 10,000 in the pot and Bobby Dugan squaring off against one player. The flop read ![]()
![]()
and Dugan bet 5,000 after his opponent checked.
On the
turn, Dugan would again bet after his opponent checked, this time for 11,000. His foe called. The river was the

"You're good," said Dugan's opponent after he turned over ![]()

With a raise and a call in front of him, Rich Otts moved all in for 9,700. Ralph Marzan, one to his left, called. The player in the two seat, who from the looks of it had made the original raise moved all in for 21,400 more. It was folded back to Marzan who made the call with his big stack. The hands were turned over:
Otts: ![]()
Marzan: ![]()
Player in Seat 2: ![]()
"Nice call," said the player in seat 2 sarcastically to Marzan. The dealer put out a flop of ![]()
![]()
meaning there would be no free roll flushes. An ace or jack would end Otts's tournament but he would fade those cards on the
turn and
river.
"Yes!" said a happy Otts as he more than tripled up to 35,500 in chips.

Players are on their second 10-minute break of the day.
With two early position limpers, one of them being Eddie Kofler, in front of him Paul Stanechewski raised it up to 3,500 from middle position. The player on the button called, the original limper folded, and Kofler called.
The flop came ![]()
![]()
and Stanechewski would take it down with a bet of 5,100 to bring his stack up to 76,000. Despite the small hit, Kofler would have nearly six figures after the hand with 99,500 in chips.
"Ask him how he got those chips," a player at Tom Clements's table said as we took his photo. The player went on to mention something about a two-outer.
Regardless of how he got them, Clements is currently sitting on top of the biggest stack in the room with 140,000. Bill Burdick isn't far behind with 120,000.
