News From The Gold Section: Melki Loses His Grip; MacPhee Now Leads

The landscape of this tournament is changing and changing quick. Our early front-runner, Jack Melki is going backwards and the likes of Kevin MacPhee (121,000), Don Nguyen (110,000), Karim Jomeen (110,000) & Tommy Le (103,500) have raced past the man from France. Melki has lost two-thirds of his stack and looks a sullen sight behind the 40,000 strewn in front of him. Shaun Deeb seems to have stuffed his face full of Melki chips during the dinner break - Deeb sits to his right with 70,000 chips.

In other news from the Gold Section we have just lost Williams Reynolds.

Stephane Albertini raised to 1,200 in first position and there were four callers including Williams Reynolds in the big blind. The flop was {Q-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}, Reynolds checked, Albertini bet 3,600, the hijack folded, Andy Bloch called from the button as did Reynolds in the big blind. The turn card was the {6-Spades} and Reynolds moved all-in for 15,050, Albertini called and Bloch mucked.

"I have a pair. Do you have a straight?" Asked Reynolds.

Albertini did have the straight, but still needed to fade a card or two before his victory was secured.

Albertini{9-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}
Reynolds{K-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}

The river bricked for Reynolds and Albertini has eliminated him from the competition.
