Rich Lahey
Rich Lahey and Sonny Patel went heads up to the 
flop and Patel checked. Lahey bet 150,000 into a main pot of 225,000. Patel check raised all in for 470,000 on top sending Lahey deep into the tank.
Lahey eventually called turning over 
for just ace high in the biggest pot of the tournament.
Sonny Patel
His read was the correct one as Patel tabled 
for just nine high. The turn 
and river
were no help to Patel and he was sent to the rail. “It just didn’t make sense” said Lahey as he raked in the massive pot to take the lead.

Jonathan Hilton
The players have returned from break and the cards are back in the air here in the Signature Room. WSOP bracelet winner Jonathan Hilton has quietly been amassing one of the biggest stacks in the room.
He is now sitting with just under 1,000,000 with 27 players remaining. Recent WSOP Circuit ring winner Justin Carey is sharing the felt with Hilton on table 2.
Carey is also sitting behind a massive stack of just under 1,000,000 and there’s plenty of potential for a monster pot in the future if these two big stacks clash.

Sonny Patel
There was already close to 400,000 in the main pot on the 
board when we caught the heads up action. A player moved all in for his last 245,000 and after giving it some thought Sonny Patel called.
The player turned over 
for a flopped set of fives and Patel was drawing to just two out holding 
.
The 
hit the river and the table erupted as Patel shot up out of his chair in celebrating after spiking his two outer. The lucky lady on the river earned Patel the monster pot and he vaults to the top of the chip counts with just 40 players remaining.

flop and both players checked.
The turn was the and again both players knuckled the felt. The river was the and both players checked for a third time. Tran showed 
for a pair of eights but Mock tabled 
to take the pot.

Charles Smith
The under the gun player moved all in for her last 10,100 and four players called. With the action on Charles Smith in the big blind he re-shoved all in for 92,500.
All four callers quickly released their hands and Smith turned over 
. The under the gun player would need to improve holding 
to survive.
The dealer spread the 
flop and Smith flopped middle set to put a hammerlock on the hand. The turn 
and river improved Smith to a full house sending his opponent to the rail.
The remaining 63 Event 21 players are now all in the money and guaranteed at least $579 for their efforts.
We are now on a 15-minute color up break and will pick right up on the action when play resumes.

Spencer Champlin A.K.A. The player in the cutoff
The money bubble is looming with 67 remaining and the final 63 will all make the money.
We are now just four eliminations away and Spencer Champlin has moved into the lead with close to 650,000 as he looks for his second Borgata Poker title.
The players are falling fast and we should be in the money in no time here in Event 21.
