Glen just took the lead:

Quote:

Erik Nomberg raised to 30,000 in the cutoff and Glen Chorny called on the button. Chris Bjorin then called in the big blind and the flop came down A

K

9

. Everyone checked to the turn where the 7

hit the board.
Bjorin bet 30,000, Nomberg folded and Chorny made the call. The river was the 8

and Bjorin checked.
Chorny bet 75,000 and Bjorin quickly moved all in for about 100,000 more. Chorny insta-called and Bjorin turned over K

Q

, assumingly making a move with the naked nut spade card.
Chorny showed Q

6

for the second nuts and Bjorin exited the final table area. Chorny now has the lead with nearly 1 million in chips.

Sick

HUGE POT BELOW — ISAAC BARON TAKES CHIP LEAD!!! Glen Chorny raised on the button to 38,000 and Theo Tran moved all in for 261,000 in the small blind.
The action came to Isaac Baron in the big blind who asked for a count. After thinking it over, he announced all in for about 735,000. Chorny then asked for a count from the dealer and after a few moments, he decided to call as well.
Tran turned over A

K

, hoping the other two had pairs. He got his wish when Baron showed 9

9

and Chorny showed the superior 10

10

.
The board rolled out 7

6

5

3

8

and Baron spiked a straight on the river to double up to a massive chip lead of over 1.7 million. Chorny was left with 595,000 and Tran was eliminated from the tournament.

Hellmuth's Mole · Oct 29,2009, 07:59 PM

This might ease the pain a bit

Action folded to Erik Nomberg in the small blind and he moved all in for just over 140,000. Glen Chorny snap called with A

9

and Nomberg showed a dominated A

8

. The board came down 6

5

10

J

and Nomberg was eliminated, giving Chorny back some of the chips he gave up to Baron.

wow menlo runs goooot, so sick

Choron · Oct 30,2009, 04:51 AM

Thanks for railing me everyone! I tried my best to own it, but the cards wouldn't let me...I got rivered about 7 times after the TT versus baron so its pretty tough to win tournaments when the cards come out like that...I tried my best and I'm actually pretty impressed and happy with the way I GRINDED the short stack and outlasted TWO people who had HUGE stacks... lol!

Choron · Oct 30,2009, 04:52 AM

I felt like it was Baron's destiny to win after he spiked the river on me...

3rd place = $76K? There's a lot of reasons to be happy that have nothing to do with grinding out as the short stack
