"August $150,000" (Day 2): Gelley Doubles Through Nomberg, Back Where He Started

"August $150,000 GTD"
$360 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
Level 23 (Blinds 10,000/20,000/3,000)
Total Entries: 792
Players Remaining: 29/792


David Gelley (Boca Raton, FL)

David Gelley was just all-in and at risk against Erik Nomberg, racing for his tournament life.  Gelley was holding J J♠ against Erik's A♣ K, and would never relinquish the lead on a runout of 9♣ Q♣ 2 J♣ 9.  Nomberg had to match Gelley's 311,000 stack, which would bring David over the 670,000 mark.  This is the first time that Gelley eclipses his Day 2 starting stack since Level 17, which really puts his opening flight performance in perspective.

David Gelley - 675,000
Erik Nomberg - 395,000
