Luke Rosenberg (Parkland, FL) 

Just as Table 5 was approached, two players were all-in on a board of Q♣ 8♣ 3♥ 9♠, and action was on Luke Rosenberg (Parkland, FL).  One of the stacks was 40,000, but the larger of the two was just under 100,000, which had Luke covered.  He stood up and pushed forward the chips for a call, and watched as both of his opponents turned over Jx 10x, having turned the straight.  Luke tabled 9♥ 9♦, and politely asked the dealer, "Pair the board please."  The river would bring another queen, pairing the board, and giving Rosenberg the winning full house.

The stacks were then cut down by the dealer, and Luke's amount (79,200) would be matched, and shipped his way.  Rosenberg becomes the first player to eclipse the 200,000 mark, and now sits with the largest stack in this shrinking field.

Luke Rosenberg - 212,000

Players are taking their final break of the day at the conclusion of this level, and will be returning to play out the final four levels of the flight.
