Kalb Hits Chip Lead Despite Domination

[user67765]

Jacob Kalb has assumed the mantle of our tournament chip leader after eliminating a player in a pot worth 380,000. We didn't catch the betting action but the chips were in preflop with Kalb in an ugly spot with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

against an opponent's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Spades}

.

However the board ran out {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

{J-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

and Kalb spikes a jack to take down the pot and move up to the top of the tree with 680,000 chips.
