Allyn Jaffrey Shulman was all in preflop and waiting for Mike Wood from Los Angeles, California to decide on his action. Eventually Wood made the call and turned up the 
. That was bad news for Shulman as she held a dominated 
.
The flop came down 
and both players missed, leaving Wood in front with his ace-king high. The turn 
gave Wood a pair of kings.
"Yes!" exclaimed Wood when he saw the king hit, but Shulman wasn't dead yet. She still had a straight draw coming on the river.
The river gave Shulman just what she needed when the 
hit the felt and gave her Broadway.
"Yes!" she yelled. "Oooh baby!"
Shulman was very excited with the river card, and rightfully so. She took a few deep breaths and then collected her chips, stacking up to 65,000. Wood was left with 51,000.

Our Chip Leader
Radwan Khuri came into today with 112,600 chips and the chip lead. Currently he possesses around 240,000 and maintains the lead. His current table was kind enough to let us know how he crossed the 200,000 mark.
Apparently Khuri was involved in a three-way pot with a board reading 
. One player bet 20,000 and after a series of more bets two of the players were all in and Khuri called.
Khuri: 
Opponent 1: 
Ted Rogers: 
In the end Khuri held the best of it and raked in the giant pot eliminating Ted Rogers and the other opponent. That hand alone put Khuri over the 300,000 mark, but a few hands later he doubled up a stack and was knocked back down to 260,000.
While we were listening to the stories we managed to catch Khuri playing a hand. Action folded around to the button who made it 5,200. Allyn Jaffrey Shulman folded the small blind, and it was Khuri's turn to act. Khuri three-bet to 22,400. The button then moved all in for about 33,000 more.
Khuri went deep into the tank weighing his potential options. He even measured out the chips and toyed with the idea of a call for a few minutes or so. In the end though Khuri threw it away and the button took down the pot.
After the fold by Khuri was official, the button showed 
, and Khuri realized he made a bad lay-down telling everyone he had 
.
