Ellwood Takes Control

Level 4 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Jack Ellwood is now the clear chip leader on his table after winning a sizeable pot against Blair Hinkle.

Hinkle had raised to 2,100 and then called Ellwood's three bet to 10,200 before both players checked the {Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop. Hinkle then check-raised Ellwood's 12,000 turn bet on the {10-Hearts} to 27,000 which Ellwood wordlessly called. The {3-Spades} river saw Hinkle shutdown and check again and Ellwood bet 18,000 this time.

"Nice hand," sighed Hinkle, mucking.
