Event 17 (Day 2): Lakatosh Eclipses 200,000

Level 10 (Blinds 500/1,000/100)
Total Entries: 178
Players Remaining: 62

The action at Table 30 was picked up on the turn of a board reading 4 10 2♠ J.  Lawrence Lakatosh had checked to Taylor Honkofsky, who followed with a bet of 6,000.  Lakatosh would check-raise to 13,000, and after a few minutes in the tank, Taylor would make the call.  The river would bring the 3, and Lawrence would now lead for 17,000, with Taylor taking much less time before announcing a call.  Lakatosh would turn over A 5 (having turned the nut flush), and with that pot chips up to 215,000.  After absorbing the loss, Honkofsky dips down to 22,000, one of the shortest stacks in the field.
