Tahtouh Motors On

With three limpers in the pot Emad Tahtouh looked down at his cards in the big blind and his incredible day continued as he squeezed out the {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}.

Tahtouh decided to narrow the field with a raise of 3,000, forcing two folds but Michael Shinzaki made the call on the button.

We took a little step closer at the prospect of our two tournament chip leaders playing a huge pot, but it wasn't to be as the scary board of {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} was checked down.

Tahtouh tabled his queens and they were good as Shinzaki mucked. Tahtouh is now up to 160,000 chips and has a massive chip lead over the field.
