Kushell, Once Ready to Leave, Now Near Chip Lead

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

"Is everyone filming this," a player at the table said as Bob Kushell and two opponents had all their chips in the middle pre-flop, with several players taking out their phones to record the action. Both players were in for around 900,000.

Kushell showed {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and was up against {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. The board ran out {2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{j-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and Kushell's pocket kings held up to bust both opponents.

"Nice hand, sir. I hate to die like that," one of the defeated foes told him after the hand. "See you at the final table. Some of those chips are mine."

According to the table, Kushell was down to 90,000 at one point today and was preparing to leave and go play another tournament. Instead, he's now among the chip leaders.
