Event 12: New Chip Leader

$200 + $30 Big Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

New Chip Leader - Seat 9 (Ihavechipsville, NJ)

Frank Pyzik (Manalapan, NJ) is sitting at the same table with the tournament chip leader who has 1,700,000.

Frank came close to a double-up and knocked the player to his left out.

It was a hand worthy of several players standing up and sweating it out.

Frank had 10-8 in the small blind against Opponent's K-J off-suit.

Spade heavy flop of 2-9-6 gave Frank a non-spade gutterball and Opponent a flush draw.

Board paired when another 6 hit the turn.

Then boom - a non-spade seven spiked the river giving Frank the scoop and sending his Opponent to the rail.

Frank now has 300,000 and is the short stack at table two. On the flip side, he'll be looking to double up thru the monster 1,700,000 stack in seat-9.

We have a photo of our chip leader but he refused to give his name. "I'm superstitious" said the leader. We'll call him Seat-9.
