Level 11 : 600/1,200, 120 ante

Once tournament leader, 'nokoscar' had seen their stack cut in half since their peak, but after a recent pot, is right back up there among the leaders.

'nokoscar' called an open from the big blind that three tablemates were involved in and a {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop fanned out.

'nokoscar' check-called a bet of 6,840 from a player in late position and the other two players in the hand folded. The {k-Clubs} landed on the turn and 'nokoscar' check-raised a bet of 12,480 to 33,000, and their opponent called.

The {9-Clubs} finished off the board on the river and 'nokoscar' bet 45,360, leaving just 124 behind, and their opponent called. 'nokoscar' tabled the {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for a Broadway straight and their opponent mucked.
