Vaaraniemi With Massive Stack; King Gone
Level 11
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Patrick Clarke won two bigger pots to essentially double his stack and Elias Vaaraniemi skyrocketed to more than half a million in chips, dominating the field early on.
Greg King made the headlines for most of Day 1b before plummeting to an average stack, and he has just been eliminated by Pierre de Montesquiou. King jammed a 
flop with 
and the Frenchman called with 
for top and bottom pair. The 
turn was an additional sweat, but the 
river blanked.
