CPPT Event #1 (Flight 1A): From Running Away...To Walking Away, Derek Williams Eliminated By Aaron Porter

2018 Card Player Poker Tour (Isle Casino Pompano Park)
Event #1 | $360 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD)
Level 15 (Blinds 2,000/4,000/4,000)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 129
Flight 1A Players Remaining: 18


Aaron Porter (Miami, FL) has benefited from Derek Williams' activity, assuming the chip lead after knocking Derek out just short of the money.

Derek Williams looked like he was going to run away with the flight's chip lead, but became very active once he assumed the top spot, which would eventually be his demise.  Just moments ago, Williams would check-shove for approximately 70,000, after Aaron Porter bet on the turn of a Q♣ 5 8 board.  Derek was in really rough shape, holding Q 10 against Porter's 8♠ 8♣.  Aaron would end up making quads on the river, which was good for the high hand (this tournament is high hand eligible), but ended up getting knocked off the board moments later.

Brandon Ageloff would then be eliminated just a few hands later, leaving the field on the money bubble.  The clock is currently paused, and hand-for-hand play will commence, until the next player is eliminated.

Aaron Porter - 330,000 (82bb)
