Prince Rogers (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)

The has only been one table to break in the field to this point, with the players from Table 2 finding new homes (and neighbors) to engage with.  Prince Rogers (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) joined the action at Table 10 with one of the larger stacks in the room, but after playing his first hand at the new table, he's the flight's chipleader.

The action was approached on the flop of J♣ 4♠ 5♣, as Prince had called a 9,000 bet from an unknown player in the small blind.  The player next to act would shove for 49,500, and after the original bettor folded his hand, Rogers made the call.  His K♠ K♣ would be up against Q♣ 10♣, needing to fade clubs or any running outs that would help his opponent steal the pot away.  The 10♥ on the turn made things a little more interesting, but after a 7♥ on the river, Prince would eliminate his opponent and rake in the pot.  Rogers is now the only player above the 200,000 mark, as he hits with just over 210,000.
