Event 1: 4th Place - Ackerman

Event 1 - $500 + $60 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em  

Gary Ackerman (Collegeville, PA)

$111,946

Gary Ackerman was working on his comeback, but then in a battle of the blinds with Walt English, Gary's J5 suited failed to beat Walt's AQ suited (same suit).  The board was 7 7 4 7 K.

Walt doubled up, leaving Gary with only about half a million. 

On the next hand, everyone limped and checked down the board of Q Q 4 2 K.

Ben Bianco showed K8 to take the pot, busting Gary in 4th place.  The start of day three chip leader will collect $111,946 for his efforts.

That's also the end of the level and time for dinner.

Play will resume at 9:50 pm.
