Event 1: 7th place - Brian Mooney

$500 + $60 Deep Stack NL (2 Re-entry)        

Another level ticked away and blinds increased to 100k/200k with 30k antes.

Joshua Lawson raised utg and action folded around to Ryan Wood in the big blind, who moved all-in.  Joshua called, showing pocket Kings.  Ryan held AK offsuit.  The board came Q 9 2 -- all spades -- giving Ryan the nut-flush-draw and a lot more outs, but the last two were offsuit 7 Q and Joshua doubled up.  He's over 5.6 million.  Ryan was left with ~3 million.

 Brian Mooney

In a battle of the blinds, Joshua raised from the small and Brian Mooney (Middle Village, NY) three-bet from the big.  Joshua moved in and Brian called all-in, showing AK off.  Joshua held pocket Tens.  The board came T 6 3 2 2 and Joshua filled up.  Brian earned $25,343 for his 7th place finish.
