Hindin Doubles; Kuchik Busts

Championship Event
$3300 + $200 NL

On a flop of Q 7 5, Daniel Hindin got all-in (175,700) against Lawrence Sharp, who held Q9 suited in the cutoff. Daniel was ahead with pocket Kings. The last two came 6 4 and Daniel doubled up to almost 400k.

Michael Omelchuk opened for 15k, then Alex Kuchik moved all-in. Michael called, showing AQ. Alex was ahead with pocket Kings. The flop came K J 3, extending Alex's lead to a set. Turn was a 4 and changed nothing, but the river brought a Ten, giving Michael the Broadway straight and the pot. He's now over 900k and most likely the chip leader.

Despite losing with a set of Kings twice today, Alex Kuchik was a good sport and shook hands before leaving. He also asked me to thank his nephew Aaronchik for the good luck wishes.

41 players remain and they have fled the room for a ten minute break while the staff colors up the black 100 chips.
