Wynkoop Emerges as New Chip Leader

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Christopher Wynkoop just knocked out Thomas Drinkwater with {8-}{8-} against {k-}{8-} after getting it in on a {k-}{8-}{6-} flop.

The board bricked and Drinkwater was eliminated, with Wynkoop now amassing a stack well over four million.

"New chip leader," said tablemate Jean-Robert Bellande. "Chip leader alert!"

"You have like 1% of the chips in play," someone said. "But it feels like heaps now!"

Actually, it's nearer 0.8% of the chips in play but is still good enough for the presumed chip leader in the tournament.
