New Man In Charge

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Brandon Louvier
Brandon Louvier

Brandon Louvier has jumped into the chip lead after taking a huge pot off Shayne Shackelford with a very lucky river card.

Louvier called Shackelford's three-bet all in on the turn for some 200,000 holding {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} on a {j-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Spades} board. Shackelford was ahead with {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for two pair.

But that changed drastically after the {a-Spades} river gave Louvier two bigger pair and now the chip lead.

McKeever Finds The Flush

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Mike McKeever
Mike McKeever

Mike McKeever is sitting just to the left of start-of-day chip leader Shayne Shackelford and now has a stack to battle him with.

McKeever got it in with {k-Spades}{q-Spades} on the turn of a board with two aces, two spades and a ten against Dominick Muto holding {a-}{j-}.

The river came a spade and with Shackelford dipping down under 400,000, McKeever is now neck-in-neck with him for the chip lead.
