Jack Ranallo

Event 5 was the mid-series tournament with two starting flights drawing 125 entries to the $600 tournament. Each session played down to the last 10% of the field and those 13 players return today at noon to play down to the title with $20K up top.

Jack Ranallo leads the field with Jeff Trudeau Jr not far behind. The average stack is still 58 big blinds so they can settle in for a nice day at the tables.

Jeff Trudeau Jr

It took a little while to get there but Brenda Lyons was the unfortunate bubble this evening. She mixed it up with Jeff Trudeau Jr when they checked down a board reading 6s5d2h4sKd. Trudeau bet 42,000 on the river and Lyons called leaving only 24,000 behind.

Trudeau tabled KcKs for rivered set of kings and Lyons showed AhKh for top top. She was left short and gone a few hands later.

Trudeau bagged the Flight B chip lead with eight players returning tomorrow, joining the five from yesterday.

We will post the payout information and the seat draw later this evening.

  1. Jeff Trudeau Jr – 589,500
  2. Daniel Kasper – 526,000
  3. Yin Ting Jiang – 411,500

Jeff Trudeau

Flight B slid through Level 12 and tournament staff sent players on a 15-minute break as they pulled the black chips out of play. We have 19 players remaining so still a lot of time for players to spin up stacks since we are not stopped until eight players remain.

The chip lead has changed and it happened after Jeff Trudeau joined the table of former leader Bill Isbell. He is up to 427,000 while Isbell is down under 200K.
