Mark Sloane, just before the break, was involved in a hand with Brian Hodhod and Audrey Verlomme. We do not have all the details, but we know that Audrey folded queens after the turn showed an ace. Mark, however, decided to hang around with a pocket pair of fours! He correctly put Brian on a flush draw, and when the river went check-check, he picked up a sizable pot, enough to put him in the lead! His 252K look very good, the only stack above 200K currently in the field.
