Meenelai Bold Chips Up

Life is good for chip leader Meenelai Bold. He recently made full houses on back-to-back hands. First Karl Krautschneider paid off Bold's 10,000-chip river bet on a board of {5-?}

{5-?}

{9-?}

{4-?}

{3-?}

{3-?}

, saying "I just don't believe you," as he opened {A-?}

{A-?}

{Q-?}

. Not believing Bold was a bad idea, as Bold showed {9-?}

{9-?}

{9-?}

for top full house.

The very next hand, Bold bet 3,000 on a board of {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

. His lone opponent check-raised to 12,000 and warned Bold, "I have a lot of chips." Bold called anyway, then moved in on the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

turn. His opponent quickly called with {5-?}

{5-?}

{5-?}

, a set of fives; Bold had top two pair {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{10-Spades}

and was drawing slim but live. He pounded the table, then jumped out of his seat and shouted in triumph when the river repeated {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

to give both players a full house, but Bold the biggest full house.

After those hands, Bold is up to 110,000.
