No Limit to Meyers' Domination

Level 23

Brandon Meyers is clearly more at home in the no limit rounds than in the limit ones, and with some serious limit sharks at the table, he's using no limit to further his chip lead and assert his dominance. He's raising nearly every hand and three-betting those when he can't open. A few times he's been played back at and folded, but most hands add to his stack.

In a recent hand, he kept up his usual style but happened to have a real starting hand. Brian Smith opened to 47,000. Not unusually, Meyers reraised to 135,000 on the button. Smith called and checked the {j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop. Uncharacteristically, Meyers didn't c-bet. The {2-Clubs} put the action back on Smith, who bet 160,000. Meyers called. It was back to check-check on the {6-Clubs} river. Smith announced "king high," which prompted Meyers to turn over his winning nut no pair, {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}. The chip leader is now over 2 million.
