Harris Seizes The Lead

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Lance Harris
Lance Harris

Lance Harris has taken the lead here and looks poised for another deep run just days removed from his final table appearance in the $1,500 Six-Handed event.

He just made short work of a shorter stack at his table, flopping a set of sixes, betting it, and making the easy call when the shorty shoved sevens.

The run out went {2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Harris now has 160k-plus.

Strickland Gets Lucky to Take Three-Way Shove

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Matthew Strickland opened under the gun for 2,500 and saw two players ship it behind him. The first player had 21,100, and the second player had Strickland covered. Strickland called it off.

Strickland: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Middle position: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Hijack: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The flop came {q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, giving Strickland a big lead with a set and leaving the shortest player drawing nearly dead. The {6-Clubs} turn eliminated him from contention, and the {4-Hearts} river meant Strickland had a near triple-up, as he only had about 8,000 more.

Routos Doubles Early

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Early position: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Routos: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The board came {10-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, giving Routos queens to double up.

Nassif Doubles

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Gabriel Nassif.
Gabriel Nassif.

As the calls for payouts beckon around this side of the Amazon Room with short stacks giving up their chairs all across the floor, Gabriel Nassif managed to find a way to survive the carnage.

Nassif just now got his last 15,200 in good with {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} versus Adam Hsu's {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

Then, after an {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} run out, he doubled up.

Harris Binks Perfect Turn

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Jason Koon bet 3,000 on fourth with the board reading {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, and a player under the gun called. Lance Harris made it 9,700 from the button, and Koon called. The under-the-gun player jammed for 33,500, and Harris called. Koon mucked, saying he had aces and tens.

Harris: {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Under the gun: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Harris had turned a flush that also gave the under-the-gun player the nut flush draw with his set and Koon two pair. A red card hit the river, but it was the {2-Diamonds}, and Harris dragged the hefty pot.

Pecheux With Quads

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Pete Males hit the rail early on this Day 2 after open-shoving for his tiny 6,000 stack from the cutoff. Erwann Pecheux in the big blind asked for a count and then called, tabling {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. Males showed {3-Hearts}{3-Spades} and the Frenchman made quads on the {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} board to sent Pecheux out.

Nguyen Over 100K

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Soi Nguyen just got off to a great start to the day. Sitting with the familiar company of fellow 2010 November Niner Jason Senti on his left, Soi started out one of the first hands of the day with button and raised to 2,700.

Senti stepped out of the way in the small blind, but Chris Hunichen fired back from the big blind, three-betting to 8,100 total.

Nguyen called and Hunichen checked the {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop, but after a 6,200-chip bet from Nguyen, Hunichen check-raised, bumping it up to 16,300.

Nguyen responded by putting in a hefty reraise and Hunichen folded before anyone could count it.

"Whatever you have, I can't beat it," said Hunichen.

As a result Nguyen pushed over the 100,000-chip mark.
