The Leaders Emerge

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Saad Ghanem
Saad Ghanem

Jeremy Dresch three-bet preflop and Saad Ghanem four-bet. Dresch called, setting up a massive heads-up confrontation.

Ghanem checked the {4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop, but when Dresch bet, he jammed all in. Dresch folded and Ghanem showed two aces, moving up to two million in chips.

In the meantime, Kirby Rogers busted both Justin Thurlow and John Hayes, making a straight to best Thurlow's ace-high and holding with king's against Hayes'.

He's now got 1.7 million and it's these two that hold the lead.
