Event 2: Salimbene Claims Lead

$350 + $50 +$100 Black Chip Bounty NLH

I had just identified the player at table 2, seat 3, as the chip leader with ~250k.  Then he got involved in a pot with Nick Salimbene (Brick, NJ).

 Nick Salimbene

On the flop of Q J 7 seat 3 bet and got called by Nick.  Turn was an 8 and seat 3 checked.  Nick made a big bet and after some thought, seat 3 called.

River was an Ace (no flush possible).  Seat 3 checked.  Nick moved all-in for 85k.  Seat 3 asked for the count, then tanked for a few minutes.

He eventually called.  Nick showed KT of spades for Broadway and the nuts.  Seat 3 mucked.  He was left with only about 40k.

Nick doubled up to about 500k and is clearly the chip leader.

Seat 3 busted out soon after, leaving 28 players.  They are now on the true bubble and playing hand-for-hand.
