Level 11 (Blinds 600/1,200/200)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 99
Flight 1C Players Remaining: 32

Joseph Gotlieb (Hollywood, FL) called a bet on the flop to hopefully hit a gut shot, spiking the dream turn to eventually ship a massive pot.

Just as the final minutes were ticking off the clock in Level 11, the largest pot of the flight played out at Table 9.  Four players were all-in on the turn of a board that read 10♠ A♣ 9♠ 7♥, vying for a pot that was worth close to 150,000:

Board: 10♠ A♣ 9♠ 7♥

Joseph Gotlieb: 6♣ 8♥ (turned straight)
Dmitry Agrachov: A♦ 7♠ (two pair)
Player X: Q♥ J♥ (open-ended draw)
Player Y: A♠ K♣ (ace-high)

River: 5♦

The 2017 WSOP Circuit $1,675 Main Event winner (from Seminole Hard Rock) turned a straight to take the lead, with his hand holding up after the river.  With over 150,000, Gotlieb is now the Flight 1C chip leader, with only five levels remaining in the afternoon.
