Big Stax 300 (Day 2): The Ever Changing Landscape Of Tournament Poker

Level 22 (Blinds 10,000/20,000/3,000)
Total Entries: 1,651
Players Remaining: 67

Michael Hollenberg (Rockaway, NJ)
Most of the people reading these updates understand the intricacies of tournament poker, so it's no surprise the fortune (or un-fortune) that players go through during the span of five days.  Michael Hollenberg was sitting with about 200,000 in front of him, and got his remaining chips in on the flop of Q 2 6 with A 4.  His flush draw was live, but he'd be behind the 6 9 of Katayon Khaterzai.  The turn brought a blank, but the A♣ on the river gave Hollenberg the pot and a double to 460,000.

Only three hands later, he would hold with top pair against the all-in bet of Greg Himmelbrand (flush draw).  Himmelbrand would be eliminated, and Hollenberg would chip up to 900,000. So in a span of only (10) minutes, Michael went from one foot out the door, to almost double chip average.
