We walked up to a hand between Alex Massman and Kevin French on the river of a completed board showing [Qc][9c][2c][10d][6s]. There was already about 150,000 in the middle when Massman fired out 110,000. French rechecked his hole cards and counted out his stack for a while before announcing a raise to 330,000.
Massman tanked for quite some time before calling for nearly all of his chips, and French rolled over [Ac][4c] for the nuts. Massman mucked what he later said was a smaller flush, and he was eliminated on the next hand. French now has the chip lead with just under one million. Here are a few other counts from the top 27.
Angelina Rich - 630,000
Cory Hochman - 485,000
Thu Nguyen - 320,000
Erich Karle - 275,000
Bruce Kramer - 215,000
Thomas Zanot - 190,000
