End of Level 12:  Blinds 1k/2k/300 ante

Flight C Total Entries:  67
Flight C Players Remaining:   19
Average Stack:  105,800  (53 big blinds)

Players are taking their last break of the day before playing the final two levels.

Shortly before the end of level 12, Randy Raji opened for 6k early, then the short-stack on his left shoved.  Michael Laake re-shoved from the middle with more chips.

Randy was happy to make the overcall, having both opponents covered, since he was holding pocket Aces.  The shortie had pocket 6s and Michael had AQ offsuit.

The board ran out K 3 3 7 T and changed nothing.  Randy’s weapons of mass destruction busted both opponents and in the process, propelled him into the chip lead with about 330,000.
