Chad Brown On The Move

Chad has continued his steady rise up the leader board since the dinner break and has currently amassed nearly 110,000 in chips. Despite the fact that he just took a small hit in the following hand. Here's how it went down:

On a {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop, Chad bet out 2,000 and had one caller.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and Chad's 4,000 bet was also called.

The river was the {9-Clubs}. Chad bet out 6,000 and was called down, he showed {K-Diamonds}{3-Spades} while his opponent had {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for better two pair.

Rafe Furst Climbing Up

One player bet, Rafe Furst raised all in with his last 3,000 and his opponent called. Furst had A-K against A-J. The board came 5-2-3-3-9 and Furst raked in the pot.

On the very next hand, Furst raised 1,700 from under the gun, took down the blinds and antes, and is back up to 7,500.

Table 66 Gets Goofy

At Ishak Noyan's and Chris Ferguson's table, the dealer misdeals and Noyan only has a single king. Before they can return the cards and redeal, the table gets a little goofy. They decide to trade cards to improve their hands. Ferguson gives Noyan another king, giving him pocket kings. Somehow, we don't think that's in the TDA rules.
