Chris Overgard just made a huge leap forward in his quest to take down the Main Event. With 7,800 chips in the pot preflop, his opponent moved all in for 14,000 on a flop of {9-Spades} {8-Spades} {6-Clubs}. Overgard made the call with a huge draw: {A-Spades} {7-Spades}. He was in even better shape when his opponent turned over {10-Clubs} {7-Clubs}. The turn {Q-Spades} made a lock hand for Overgard; the river was a meaningless {6-Hearts}.

Overgard is now up to 42,000. His opponent was eliminated.
