Field Extends Lead

[user67765]

Michael Zowie came in raising from the button to 7,000 and Josh Field made the call in the small blind. The action was then with Michael Binger who declared "Raise the pot!" Zowie folded but Field deliberated before making the call.

The flop was {6-Hearts}

and Field led out with a pot-sized bet. Binger quickly folded and Field takes down a nice pot.

With that pot, Field is up to over 220,000 chips.
