Icke Spikes A Queen to Take The Chip Lead

[user37786]

We first noticed that someone big was going on when a player got up out of his chair so fast it fell over. Some, ah, colorful language ensued and we rushed over to see what happened.

Which was this: Tom "The Shamrock Kid" McCormick and David Icke got all the chips in the middle before the flop. And a lot of chips it was--over a quarter of a million, actually. McCormick turned over Kings, and Icke showed Queens. All McCormick needed to take over the chip lead was avoid a Queen...

And of course it was a Queen on the flop that set of McCormick. He was quite demonstrative in his displeasure, but his Kings were cracked and he was out of today's event. And David Icke is now our chip leader with 265,000.
