Joe Boulais was the chip leader with about 150k.   Then he ran into Herbert Woodbery.

Herbert opened for 3,500 and Joe 3-bet to 7,500.  Herbert called to see the flop of 7s4c3h.  He checked, Joe bet 8,500 and Herbert called.

Turn was the 5s and Herbert led out for 9k.  Joe called.  River was the Kh and Herbert fired 20k.  Joe called.

Herbert showed Kc6c for the straight and Joe mucked, dropping his stack to ~120k while Herbert chipped up to ~110k.

Then three players took a flop for a pre-flop raise.  On the Jh6c3s Herbert checked, Joe checked, and Adam ‘megalodon’ Santos tossed in his last 10,050.  Herbert called and Joe exited the pot.

Adam had 7d6h for  a pair of 6s, but Herbert (bb) held Jc4h for a pair of Jacks.  The last two came KhJs and Adam was busted.

Herbert chipped up to ~150k, good for the chip lead.
