Overton Climbing
Aaron Overton opened the action with a raise to 450 from the cutoff. The player on the button quickly three-bet to 1,550 and it folded back to Overton. He cut out a four-bet to 4,000 straight and his opponent called.
The dealer spread 
on the felt and the action went check-check. The 
fell on the turn and once again prompted no action as both players checked their options.
The river was the 
and Overton moved out a bet of 6,600. His opponent called and Overton rolled over 
for top-top. Overton's opponent mucked and the pot was pushed to Overton.
Overton is looking for a strong showing today and looking to repeat his Day 1 performance from last year. At the end of both Day 1 flights, it was Overton who led the field going into Day 2 just one year ago. He's currently well on the way to building a big stack with about 42,000 in chips.
