Cahill Takes the Lead

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

"Seat open" came the announcement from table two and Jacob Ramussen, who had a decent stack before the dinner break, was on his way out of the door. A quick look at his former table revealed a massive stack for Seamus Cahill and Bogdan Capitan was kind enough to provide the details.

According to Capitan, Johan Espholm had raised and picked up a caller in Dany Chidiac, then Cahill squeezed to 20,000 and Rasmussen in the big blind reraised the pot to 80,000. Action folded to Cahill and he called to see a flop. Rasmussen jammed with for the flush draw and Cahill called with for aces and the open-ended straight draw.
