Ponce Builds Stack Early On
Level 13
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Phil Hellmuth scored an early double, as did Rakesh Lalwani, while big stack Alfred Nader has been eliminated. Nader lost a big portion of his stack against Jose Ponce when he paid off the bet of 46,500 by Ponce on the river of a board 
and mucked 
after Ponce flashed 
for a full house.
Nader's stack was more than halved after that and he busted soon after.
