Matthew Ehlrich

Svi Soudai’s reign at the top of the leaderboard was shortlived, but he was there to witness the carnage. Matthew Ehrlich opened the action, Chad Millward came along next to act, and Francis Margaglione moved all in right after for 60,000.

The small blind player called all in for less, Ehrlich moved all in over the top and Millward came along for the huge, four-way all in pot.

Small blind: AcKc
Ehrlich: KdKh
Millward: QsQh
Margaglione: AdKs

The kings were in great shape and Ehrlich had everyone covered with the biggest stack but the Ah9s7s flop changed that in a hurry. Margaglione and the small blind player were in line for their chopped up double and they had it after the Jc turn and Ts river.

They paid out the main pot and then went to work on the side pot. Both Millward and Ehrlich had a lot of chips with all of Millward’s 236,000 going to his neighbor while he went to re-enter.

Ehlrich moved up to 485,000 for the lead and go in contention for Michael Newman’s overall chip lead of 503,000 from Flight A.
