Engel Goes Runner-Runner

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The board read {8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs} with about 19,000 in the middle already. The action was on Ari Engel and he checked to his opponent who bet 10,000. Engel slid out a raise to about 22,500 and his opponent called. Engel tabled {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs} to make a flush by the river.

Engel is looking good to at least make the money in Day 1e and he is hoping to keep the success going in order to find a bag at the end of the day. Mike Leah is staying close on his heels with over 70,000 chips as well.
