Chip Leaders Popejoy and Nguyen Clash in Huge Pot

Level 21
Men Nguyen
Men Nguyen

Big O

After Men Nguyen raised on the button, he was called by Michael Popejoy in the small blind.

On the {k-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop, Popejoy led for the size of the pot and was re-potted by Nguyen to 194,000.

Popejoy then potted it again to 630,000, which would be a majority of Nguyen's roughly 900,000 remaining stack.

After several minutes of counting the pot, deliberation, and a bit of back and forth chat, Nguyen folded face up, showing {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs} for top pair, top kicker with the nut flush draw.

Boatman Busts Two to Vault Into Chip Lead

Level 22
Barny Boatman
Barny Boatman

Big O

Michael Romanos raised the size of the pot in early position and was called by Barny Boatman in the small blind and Rob Hollink in the big blind.

On the {6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop, the players all checked. Things would get very messy on the turn, however.

The dealer dropped the {9-Diamonds} on the board, and Boatman bet pot. Hollink called and Romanos re-potted all in for about 360,000. Boatman moved in and Hollink called for a bit under 500,000.

The {q-Hearts} fell on the river giving Boatman a huge win with {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts} for a set of tens that rivered the nut flush with no low on board. Hollink's cards went into the muck, and Romanos showed {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for a turned straight, which was crushed on the river by Boatman, sending him to the rail as well.

Roth Gets Full Scoop From Nguyen

Level 22
Men Nguyen
Men Nguyen

Big O

All the chips were in the middle on the flop of {7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} with Michelle Roth in the big blind at risk for 376,000 against Men Nguyen in the small blind.

Michelle Roth: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Men Nguyen: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}

Both players hit a nut low, but Nguyen had two pair with sevens and threes and Roth had a wheel wrap.

The {8-Spades} on the turn gave Roth a flush draw, but the {2-Clubs} on the river improved Roth to a wheel and scooped the entire pot to catapult them to the top half of the leaderboard.
