Escherich Adds to Chip Lead

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Nicholas Verderamo opened to 2,600 from late position, and Andrew Porter called on the button. Daniel Escherich defended his big blind, and the three saw a flop of Q♥J♠3♥.

Action checked through, and the 3♦ turn checked over to Porter. He threw out a single T-5,000 chip into the middle, and Escherich called. Verderamo let his cards go.

Escherich checked for a third time on the 7♠ river, and Porter opted for 11,000 as his sizing. His opponent took quite some time before announcing "all in." Frustrated, Porter returned his cards to the dealer.
