Stephen Woodhead and Brian Mcallister are easily the two chip leaders and happen to be sitting at the same table. These two recently rumbled in a pot which began with Woodhead opening the hijack to 2,500. Mcallister called from the small blind and the dealer flipped over a ![]()
![]()
flop. Mcallister check-called a bet here and a
