Prescott Surging

Michael Prescott continues to surge; and now sits on a healthy 108,000 in chips.

Most recently he called an all-in preflop holding {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} to be in great shape against his opponent's {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{K-Spades} to see Prescott eliminate another player from the tournament.

Chip Leaders

Charles Simon - 235,000
Dan Delatorre - 185,000
Mitch Garshofsky - 135,000
Conrad Granath - 130,000
Barry Bounds - 120,000
Robert Zelinka - 120,000

Garshofsky Pushes

Mitch Garshofsky opened to 6,500 from middle position and was met with three callers, including both the blinds.

On the flop of {5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} Garshofsky led out for 10,000 before one of his opponents called for his tournament life. The two remaining players passed and the cards were tabled.

Garshofsky: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

The turn and river fell the {10-Hearts} and the {6-Hearts} to see Garshofsky send another player home as he climbed to 135,000 in chips.

Whopping Chip Leader

"Have we got Charles Simon in the counts?" asked one of our PokerNews reporters.

"Let me check . . . No we don't. Why?"

"He has 235,000 chips"

"Huh! How much? You're bluffing right?"

"No, just have a look on table 80"

"Wow. I guess we'll put him in then"

And that's the story of how our new chip leader was formed . . . stay tuned for more.
