The Start-of-Day Chip Leader Falls Short of the Money
Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
David Brown began the day as the chip leader, but he now finds himself on the rail empty handed.
In what would be his final hand, Brown raised to 12,000 and then called when Paul Mattioda three-bet to 32,500 from the small blind holding 
. The 
flop saw Mattioda check-call a bet of 58,000, and then he checked for a second time on the 
turn.
Brown proceeded to shove all in for 140,000, and Mattioda called him. Brown showed 
and was in dire straits against his opponent. The river blanked, and just like that the one-time chip leader was just another casualty among the masses.
