Platt's Struggles Continue
Level 12
: 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Jeff Platt enjoyed a red-hot start to the day, emerging as one of the early chipleaders. As the day wore on, however, he struggled to maintain that initial momentum and as a result has fallen back into the pack.
Jun Obara opened to 4,000 from under the gun and Platt responded by three-betting to 12,500 from middle position. Action folded back around to Obara, who flatted to send the two players heads-up to the flop.
Obara checked on a flop of 
and Platt continued for 7,000. After counting out raising chips, depositing them next to his main stack and taking one final look at the board, Obara pushed 16,500 into the middle. The raise was enough to force Platt to fold, sending him slipping further down the chip counts.
