During Level 6 Dave 'Dubai' Shallow went from being potential chip leader, with almost 100,000, to out in short order. Apparently he lost two big pots in succession in nasty spots to bust. We didn't see either first hand but Sunny Chattha, who also bust shortly before the break, told us what he knew. "He lost about 50,000 with A-Q against aces on an A-Q-6-6 board," said Chattha. "And then on a king high board his opponent jammed the turn with pocket fives, he called with K-10 and the river was a five."
The main beneficiary of this appears to have been Ayman Zbib, who know has a monstrous stack of 144,000. To put that in perspective it's only 10,100 less than the Day 1a chip leader and there's over two hours of play left on Day 1b.
