Meyer Leads the Field

All those big stacks below pale next to the new chip-leading stack in the possession of one Marcus Meyer. Our eagle-eyed field reporter caught up with the hand that did it on the {4-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {10-Spades} flop, when Meyer check-called an 8,200 bet, and Meyer and his opponent proceeded to the {3-Spades} turn. Meyer checked and this time his opponent bet 12,000 -- only for Meyer to go over the top for 55,000. His opponent gave it some thought, and eventually called all in for 48,000 total.

Meyer: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}
Soon-to-be-busted opponent: {A-Spades} {J-Spades}

A bricky {2-Clubs} on the river, and Meyer was up to 135,000.
