Rudd Grabs The Chip Lead For Now

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Daniel Rudd has just overtaken and Ben Alcober and AJ Jejelowo for the chip lead for the time being.

We caught up to the action on the river, but Rudd was kind enough to fill us in on the details. He opened to 8,500 in early position and was called by two players before a third player re-raised to 24,500 from the small blind. Rudd called, as did the other two players, landing an {A-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop.

The three-bettor bet 67,000, Rudd called, and the other two opponents folded. The turn fell the {9-Hearts} where the bet was 101,000 to Rudd. He called, landing the {9-Diamonds} on the river. This time, Rudd's opponent fired 167,000. Wasting little time, Rudd re-raised all in for an additional 97,000. After a few moments his opponent called and Rudd tabled {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}. His opponent tabled a weaker ace, {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, shipping the nearly seven-figure pot Rudd's way.

Rudd now sits on a stack of about 980,000.
