John Racener {x-}{x-}/{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}/{x-}
Mitchell Putterman {x-}{x-}/{j-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts}/{x-}

John Racener had the last chips of Mitchel Putterman, while Putterman was trying to make a flush with four spades in his hands, thanks to {a-Spades} and {7-Spades}. But he hit {6-Clubs} and finally blanked on seventh street. Racener had just {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} but it was enough to scoop the pot.

John Racener is now close to the million chips with 12 players remaining.

Ruben Takes The Lead

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Brad Ruben {x-}{x-}/{k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs}/{x-}
Alex Livingston{x-}{x-}/{a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}/{x-}

The two big stacks of the tournament went into a battle.

Brad Ruben bet on the fifth, sixth and seventh street, and on this last bet Livingston just noticed that Ruben "bet in the dark". He laughed at it, called, and discovered {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for Ruben, which gave him trips deuces.

Brad Ruben is the new chipleader.
