Mahmood Chip Leader

[user46392]

Ayaz Mahmood is our current chip leader after winning two enormous hands in quick succession.

He check-raised and then called his opponent all in on the {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

flop. The opponent held {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

, but he was drawing thin against Mahmood's {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

. Duly the {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

turn and

{3-Diamonds}

river did nothing for him, and Mahmood was up to 55,000.

Then, just a few hands later, Mahmood and his newly acquired pile of chips tangled with another big stack. The board read {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

{4-Spades}

{A-Clubs}

and Mahmood flipped over {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{8-Spades}

for the flush. His opponent said he had two pair, but mucked. Mahmood now on an enormous 100,000, the average stack around 25,000.
