Hanley Takes Commanding Chip Lead
Level 11
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
After a titanic tussle with Gajanthan Kamalanathan, Jonathan Hanley has put clear daylight between himself and the rest of the field.
With over 400,000 in the pot on a completed board of A♦A♣4♣K♦6♣, Kamalanathan bet 175,000 and was shoved on by Hanley which put Kamalanathan at risk for a further 200,000 chips. After utilizing all of his time bank Kamalanathan made the call and was dismayed to see Hanley making a boat with K♣K♠ which beat his trips as he held A♥Q♦.
Hanley now has 11 starting stacks to his name and is putting himself in contention for a massive score.
