Erik Christensen (Miami, FL)

"Wow...what a card," Ronnie Korman said, having just called Erik Christensen's all-in.  The card Ronnie was referring to was the J♣ on the turn (of a board reading A♣ 3♣ Q♥ J♣).  Norman turned two-pair (A♠ J♦), but the same card that helped Korman, gave Christensen a straight (K♦ 10♣).  Erik still needed to fade Korman making a full house on the river, and stayed alive to double up, after the 2♠ appeared.  Erik is now peaking for the day with 119,000, while Korman absorbs the loss, and sits with the same sized stack.

Erik Christensen - 119,000

Ronnie Korman - 115,000
