McCorkell Pulls Into Lead

Craig McCorkell opened to 120,000 from the button and Jeremiah Fitzpatrick called.

The flop was {9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Fitzpatrick checked to McCorkell who continued for 65,000. Fitzpatrick opted to check raise to 170,000 and McCorkell called.

Fourth street brought the {4-Hearts} and Fitzpatrick continued the aggression by betting 250,000. Once again, however, McCorkell called.

Fitzpatrick eased up when the {6-Diamonds} dropped down on the river, allowing McCorkell to bet 390,000. Fitzpatrick folded and McCorkell dragged the pot and slid into the chip lead.
