Van Fleet Loses Huge Pot

Just as players were coming up to the last break of the night, Jon Van Fleet and Joe Patrick got all of the chips in the middle preflp. Patrick was at risk of elimination but showed the best hand, {J-Hearts} {J-Spades} to Van Fleet's {9-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}. Nothing changed by the river of a {2-Hearts} {A-Spades} {10-Clubs} {6-Spades} {4-Clubs} board. Van Fleet was forced to pay off 277,000 chips, more than half of his stack. He fell to 235,000 while Patrick is now among the leaders with 574,000.
