Stokes Takes a Healthy Lead

Jamin Stokes raised to the minimum to 60,000 from the button, and Johnny Chan called.

The flop brought {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {9-Spades}, and both players checked. Fourth street came the {8-Hearts}, and Chan checked again. Not so easily pacified this time, Stokes fired out 75,000 chips, and Chan made the call.

The river came the {6-Hearts}. When Chan checked, Stokes fired again, 125,000 this time. After some deliberation, Chan made the call. Stokes happily turned over {J-Hearts} {5-Hearts}, for the second nuts. With no raise from Chan, Stokes knew he was good, and he picks up another nice pot.

Stokes - 1,250,000
Chan - 670,000
