Disastrous Start for Day 1b Chip Leader Van der Spuy

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Jean-Pierre Van Der Spuy

Jean-Pierre van der Spuy grabbed the chip lead on Day 1b, but his chip stack had already been mostly demolished, with just 35,000 chips remaining, when the action was caught.

Thomas Galusha then went all-in for around 15,000 from the cutoff and Van der Spuy called from the small blind.

Thomas Galusha: KxQx
Jean-Pierre van der Spuy: 10?10?

Galusha flopped a pair on 8?Q?A? and that would remain the best hand when the turn fell the 8? and the 6? river completed the board.

Another hit for Van der Spuy's stack as he now only plays roughly 25 big blinds. Meanwhile, Lawrence Chang has also lost some chips, while Jules Dickerson seems to be the biggest beneficiary of the chip trading, and is nearing the 400,000 mark.
