Event 1: Runner-Runner Big Stack

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

Level 15: Blinds 1,500/3,000/400 ante   

 Running Jacks Gets Getchell Chips

With less than the big blind, Tom Dobrilovic (West Nyack, NY) is all in when Robert Getchell (Oceanside, NY) moves all in for 127k.  Keith Donovan (New Milford, NJ) waits a few seconds and makes the call with 120k for a massive 240k side pot.

Dobrilovic: 2 3
Getchell: AJ
Donovan: AQ

Flop: Q-8-2 (Donovan pair of Queens)

Turn: J (Donovan still leads)

River: J

Getchell gets running Jacks to take down the 250k pot.  "I was just trying to isolate," says Getchell as he sheepishly rakes the pot.

"You might be the chip leader with that B-S," says Travell Thomas (Orchard Park, NY) with a hardy laugh.

"I want to take a break and come back in 48 hours," says Getchell who's eying the end of day bonus, a $2,700 Championship Event seat voucher, and a healthy stack for Friday's Day 2 (in 65 hours).
