Another Contender Emerges
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Two large towers of chips were just seen beside the Super Mario card protector of Michael Frierson, and he was kind enough to pass along the details of the huge hand that earned him those towers.
As told by Frierson, he raised in early position to 4,500 and got called by the button and the big blind.
On the 
flop, the big blind and Frierson checked to the button who bet 20,000. The big blind then moved all in for about 30,000, and Frierson moved all in for 60,000 effective, the value of the button's stack.
The button called off and two players were at risk versus Frierson.
Big Blind Player: 
Button Player: 
Michael Frierson: 
The turn and river brought blanks and Frierson eliminated the players to boost his stack well over 250,000.
