: 600/1,200, 0 ante

"Ahhh," exhaled Ly afterwards. "All that work... one hand...."
Both Sharaskin and Ly started the day among the top ten in chips, and with that one Sharaskin moves out into the lead with more than 180,000. Ly, meanwhile, quickly tumbled down to less than 10,000 on that one, and busted from the tourney shortly thereafter.
