Adam Lamers

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Brandon Wilson and Brock Wilson were involved in a pot with a completed board of 9♠7♦6♣J♦2♦ spread across the felt. A pot of 700,000 was already in the middle heading to the river and Brandon led out with a bet of 360,000, leaving just 5,000 behind.

Brock went into the tank for over a minute before dropping in the chips to call. Brandon sent his cards into the muck and Brock scooped the pot without having to show his cards. Brandon slipped to the bottom of the chip counts with just a single 5,000 chip while Brock has moved to the top as the chip leader with over 3,000,000.
