Our New Chip Leader Is . . .

Derek Boice, and how he got there is a twisted little tale. A player on the button raised and Boice, holding {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}, called. The flop came {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. A good flop, yes? Well, no -- Boice's opponent had pocket Sevens. Both players checked and when the {4-Hearts} fell on the river Boice check-called a 5,000 bet.

And then came the plot twist -- the {Q-Hearts} spiked on the river. Boice bet 8,000, his opponent naturally moved all in for 25,000 more, and Boice called and showed his bigger boat. And that hand helped boost Boice's stack up to 105,000.

The Flush Draw Giveth, and the Flush Draw Taketh Away

Mark Seif spent much of today at or near the top of the leaderboard, thanks in part to two big pots he won when he moved in with flush draws and got there in the end. However, it was a flush draw that didn't hit spelled Seif's end today, as he moved all-in with {2-Clubs}{5-Clubs} after the flop came {K-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and was called by a player with pocket Aces. But this time a club didn't come to give Seif his flush and he was eliminated.

Jan Von Halle Has Been Eliminated

But it was the hand before that spelled his doom. Von Halle raised with A-K, had one caller, and after the flop came {2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} he moved in. He was called by a player holding A-3, and when Von Halle didn't catch a King he was down to his last 800 in chips. He was eliminated a few hands later.
