We weren’t seeing big stack swings in the first parts of the flight but we had a big one after the last break. Karl Manouchakian not only became the first player over the 100,000 mark, he eclipsed the 200,00 point in one big hand.

It all began with someone who limped with Aces and got caught. Manouchakian flopped trip Nines with his 9x2x but still had to deal with another opponent who was outkicking him with 9x5x. There was a good chance for those two to chop up the Aces until Manouchakian hit the Deuce turn for a boat.

The hand moved him up to 202,000 and a good head start with a few more levels remaining.
