Hyndi Khomutetsky (Orlando, FL)

Hyndi Khomutetsky becomes the first player to eclipse the 200,000 mark, as she just won a sizable pot.  Claude Comtois opened to 18,500, with Hyndi flatting behind in middle position.  The action folded to Michael Hefley, who tossed his remaining chips in (all-in for less), and the three would see a flop of 5♣ 2♠ K♦.

Comtois checked the flop, to which Hyndi checked back, and the action would go check-check again after the 10♥ on the turn.  After the 7♥ on the river, Comtois tossed out a small bet of 6,500, with Hyndi calling.  Comtois turned over A♥ 7♦, but his pair of sevens would be in third place, behind Hyndi's J♠ J♣ (which won the hand) and Hefley's 8♠ 8♣.  

Hyndi raked in the pot, while Hefley collected his things and left the tournament area.  With only two levels remaining in the flight, Hyndi is the clear favorite to bag the chip lead, but that could change at any moment.
