Zak Rivers Broadway Against Buck, Nguynen Leads

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We caught the tail end of a hand involving Kenneth Buck (big blind) and Elan Zak (middle position) just as Buck checked the action over to Zak on the river on a board reading {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}[x][x]{q-Hearts}.

Zak led for 6,500 and Buck threw in the call, but could only muck when Zak turned over {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} for the rivered Broadway straight.

Zak climbed to 170,000 after the hand, making him currently the second largest stack, just behind Hoa Thinh Nguyen who is the chip leader with a little over 200,000.

Some of the other notable stacks are as follows:
