Bevand Takes The Chip Lead; Timex is Out

Timex proves how fickle poker can be. Third place to zero place in just two hands.
Timex proves how fickle poker can be. Third place to zero place in just two hands.

Manuel Bevand has just taken the chip lead with 30-minutes left to play in the last level of the day. The unfortunate recipient of the Bevand blow was Mike McDonald, who leaves us just two places shy of the money.

The action folded around to Manuel Bevand in the small blind and he raised to 36,000. McDonald was seated in the big and he made the call. The flop was {9-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}, Bevand bet 51,000, McDonald raised pot, Bevand re-raised pot (which put McDonald all-in) and McDonald called.

Bevand{Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}
McDonald{K-Hearts} {9-Spades}

The turn was {6-Diamonds} and river {10-Spades} and incredibly Timex was out. We say incredibly because he just a few short hands ago he was third in chips behind Steve Landfish and Ryan Julius who Bevand now leapfrogs over.
