Level 6 Update: Chau Giang Takes Over the Chip LeadOct 22, '09 Blinds: 400-800 with a 75 ante Players Left: 189 of 264 (Approximately) Average Chip Count 72,000 Chip Leaders Chau Giang — 270,000 Card Player Chip Counts Mike Matusow — 230,000 Notable Eliminations: Jason Mercier Level Summary:
Overnight chip leader Mike Matusow began his day nicely when his suited A-Q ran into another suited A-Q and made a flush to take the pot, increasing his stack to 237,000. Matusow lost a bit before the end of the level and dropped to second place overall when Chau Giang shot up to 270,000. It was a good luck, then bad luck situation for the recently departed Eli Elezra. Elezra was short stacked and five bet all-in holding pocket tens, only to run into pocket aces. The flop came J-J-10 giving him the temporary lead, but the turn was another jack, counterfeiting his hand and sending him to the rail. Player Tags: Mike Matusow, Eli Elezra, Chau Giang |
