Big Stax 500 (Day 1B): When You Lose, You Win

Level 12 - Blinds 1,000/2,000/300 (Total Entries: 305)

Abe Faroni gave the heads up about a big hand going on at Table 65, as we had a three way all-in.  Chip leader Anthony Brandi was making the call of Ed Pham's all-in (the third player was all-in for 26,000).  Pham's all-in was close to 100,000, and Brandi made the call as we walked up to the table.  The hands were tabled:

Brandi: 4 4           Pham: A K        Player X: K 10

Flop: Q 9 6

Turn: 9

River: J

Player X rivered the straight to triple up, but Brandi still won a sizable amount in the hand as his pocket fours held up against Pham's A K.  Brandi is now over 300,000 and continues to lead this field.   Players will be on break in eight minutes, and will return for the homestretch.
