Event 15: Lemke Clearly Leads

$500 + $60 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)  

Bob Panitch raised pre-flop and got calls from Sam Taylor (hijack) and Brian Lemke (button).

The flop fell 6♣5♠4♠.  Bob bet 150k.  Sam called.

Then Brian moved all-in for 429k.

Bob called fairly quickly, having Brian covered.  Sam tanked for about 3.5 minutes before folding.

Bob had pocket Queens.

Brian had 9♣7♣ an open-ender.

Turn was the 3♥, completing the straight for Brian; Bob was drawing dead.  River was the irrelevant 3♣.

After shipping the double to Brian, Bob was left with ~160k.

Brian is now over 1 million in chips and the clear chip leader.
