Where Did The Chip Leader Go? Forrester Now Overwhelming Chip Leader

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

It took the start of day chip leader, Michael Spencer, just over an hour to lose his entire 545,000 chip-stack.

The players at the table were eager to explain his entire demise.

The first hand had a board showing {j-}{j-}{k-}{q-}{k-}. Barry Forrester bet out. Spencer raised to 150,000. Forrester called. Spencer showed {j-}{9-} for a full house before Forrester revealed {k-}{q-} for a higher full house.

The next hand saw Spencer and Forrester get it all in preflop. Spencer was dominated holding pocket queens versus Forrester's pocket kings. Nothing would change and Forrester would double up.

In the final hand Spencer announced he was all in for his last 40,000 and pushed the chips forward before the cards were even dealt.

Allen Yu obliged and made the call. Spencer showed {q-}{5-} and was behind to Yu's {k-Spades}{9-Spades}.

The board ran out {8-Spades}{k-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs} to see Yu improve to a pair on the flop resulting in Spencer being sent to the rail.
