| From having never been mentioned on the blog, to two feature posts...Ellton Chester (Florida) is having a fun Tuesday afternoon. |
Ellton Chester may have entered this event as a relative unknown, but he's stealing all of the headlines to start the day. On a flop of 2♠ 2♦ 4♦, the player in the big blind would shove for 8,275 (after raising pre-flop), with Ellton Chester making the call, along with the small blind. The three would watch as the dealer placed down the 8♦ on the turn, with the small blind check-calling Ellton's 10,000 bet. Now with a side pot in play, the two would both check after the K♣ completed the board, with Chester turning over 9♦ 7♦ (having made a flush on the turn). Since all hands have to be tabled in an all-in situation, we learned that the small blind had 6♠ 2♣ (trip deuces), and the eliminated big blind had A♦ K♠.
Chester is now over 130,000, and looks to be heading to the second break of the day as the chip leader. Players will be away from the table for ten minutes at Level 8' s conclusion, at which point registration for this flight will be closed. Once play resumes, we will bring you the final numbers from the flight, along with updated chip counts from the field.
Ellton Chester - 133,000 (221bb)
