Level 7: Blinds 250/500/50 ante

Players are back from their second break and registration has closed with 70 total entries.

Manny Minaya: KK

Ronald Brown:  QQ

Seat 4:  AJ suited

Board: K 7 7 A 8

Manny (pictured above) flopped a full house to put a hammer-lock on the hand.  His opponents were left needing perfect-perfect, which didn’t happen.

Manny chipped up to 94,700, good for the chip lead.

Ronald was left short-stacked, and seat 4 was busted.
