Event 1: Big Stacks Climbing Past 200k

$500 + $60 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Level 11: Blinds 600/1,200/200 ante

Mullins & Mahadevappa

Rajen Mahadevappa (Edison, NJ) and "Irish" Paul Mullins (Limerick, Ireland) flip positions as they fight over the chip lead.

On a flop of 2♦ 6♣ 9♥ Mahadevappa checks, Mullins c-bets 16k and Mahadevappa calls.

Turn: 2♠ (check, check)

River: 7♠

Mahadevappa bets 35k and Mullins goes in the tank before eventually calling.

Mullins: 10♠ 8♥ (straight)
Mahadevappa: K♣ 9♣ (pair of 9s)

Despite having the nut straight, Mullins seemed concerned over the paired board.  He takes down the 100k chip pot and jumps to 220k, while Mahadevappa drops from 200k to 150k.
