Don't Call It A Comeback

Daniel Neilson has rushed back into the lead of this tournament.

First he took the lion's share of Mike Stecker's stack.

Neilson opened to 45,000 preflop and took Stecker to the flop. They checked off the {4-Diamonds}

flop. Neilson fired 60,000 at the turn {9-Spades}

and Stecker check-called.

The river was the {10-Hearts}

and Neilson upped it to 120,000 with Stecker check-calling again.

Neilson showed him {j-Diamonds}

for trips. This pushed him up to 895,000. Stecker dropped to 243,000.

On one of the next hands he got involved with Kristian Lunardi. Lunardi made it 55,000 to go and Neilson called from the big blind. On the {7-Clubs}

flop. Neilson checked, Lunardi made it 50,000 and the came the check-raise to 125,000.

It would be enough for Neilson to take it down and move up to 1,000,000 in chips.
