Level 6
: 200/500, 500 ante
Screams were coming from across the room when Theresa Hemingway leaped from her chair. "I made a royal!" she exclaimed. The cards were already scooped up from the table but Hemingway scooped the pot with a royal flush, leaving Adam Friedman heading to the registration desk to re-enter.
Jerry Martin tops the counts heading into the second break of the day as he closes in on 100,000 chips while Trevor Warren and Shannon Shepherd have slipped down the leaderboard after starting off strong.
