Fletcher on Form
Arron Fletcher had started the tournament better than anyone as he takes an early but potentially significant chip-lead in the room as he bids to make Day 2. He took down a massive pot at the first blind level of 50/100
Fletcher saw a gentleman raise to 250 from under the gun, so three-bet to 1,100 in middle position over a call. After calls from both players, the flop of 
saw Fletcher lead for 2,200. Only the gentleman in middle position was interested, but he raised to 6,500, which Fletcher called. On the turn of 
, Fletcher faced an al-in shove from his opponent...and called with 
!
Astonishingly, it was the correct call as his opponent turned over 
and found no luck on the river to drop down to just 5,000. Fletcher has 55,000 chips and that is more than anyone else right now.
