Lacey Building Up
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Patrick Lacey came into the day as a short stack and had already moved all in several times during the first level of play without receiving any calls. Having built up a playable stack courtesy of stealing several rounds of blinds, Lacey opened to 60,000 from early position. He received a single caller in the form of Alexander Charron in the cutoff.
Both players checked through the 
flop to the 
turn. At this point Lacey led out for 60,000, eliciting a fold from Charron and sending another pot Lacey's way.
