Event 9: New Chip Leader

$630 + $70 NL

It looks like Chris Valance has lost some ground. Kenny Schuyler was pulling a pot when I passed by his table, so it was tough to get a count.

Stuart Gelwarg

Stuart Gelwarg (New York City) has been slowly accumulating chips all day and it appears he has leap-frogged our former chips leaders. Stuart currently sits behind about 135k in chips.

With a flop of A 4 2 with two hearts, Mike Beasley (sb) bet 2,100. The big blind folded, then seat 4 called. Turn was an offsuit Jack. Both players checked. River was an offsuit Queen. Mike bet 4,200 and when his opponent called, Mike insta-mucked. His opponent showed A9 offsuit for a pair of Aces to take the pot.

About 45 players remain. Average stack is about 52,500.
