The two chip leaders, David Funkhouser and Eric Chorr, just played the biggest pot of the Ironman tournament.
Funkhouser got all-in before the flop with [Kc][Ks] against the [Th][Ts] of Chorr. However, for the second time at the final table, kings were no good as the board ran out [Td][8h][5d][As][5s].
Funkhouser was eliminated in 5th place for $4,240 and Chorr is now the overwhelming chip leader with over 600,000 of 990,000 in play.

McLean Karr
McLean Karr has just been eliminated in 11th place in the Ironman event.
Karr got all-in with [As][Kh] against the [Qd][Qh] of Eric Chorr. Chorr's pocket queens were able to hold up to send Karr to the rail just short of the money.
With ten players remaining and nine spots finishing in the money, play is now hand-for-hand.
One player suggested taking money off of first place to pay the bubble but tournament officials quickly stepped in to remind the players that there are no deals of any sort allowed in the Ironman event.
