Turton Rising
Three players saw a 
flop, and Jonathan Dimmig and Mike Leah were the only two that stayed in. They checked through the 
turn, and Dimmig bet the 
river for 11,500. Leah called and said, "You got lucky," before the cards were shown. Dimmig flashed 
, and Leah tabled 
for a split pot. Both players hold one bracelet thus far and are looking to increase that number by one.
Another big stack is Jeffrey Turton, who just scooped a bigger pot. After calling a raise by the hijack, he was on a three-way flop of 
and bet. The small blind called, and the hijack check-raised to 25,000, which only Turton called. On the 
turn, the hijack bet 47,000, and Turton moved all in. His opponent sighed and folded, claiming to have had ace-jack.
Maurice Hawkins, however, remains the current chip leader with more than half-million in chips.
