Hand Takes the Lead
Level 9
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
In the last hand prior to the break, Toby "sadface11" Joyce made it 8,800 to go from under the gun and was called by "Elmagico19A1" in the hijack and "Cali1112" in the cutoff. Fintan "easywithaces" Hand three-bet to 50,000 on the button and Joyce made it 150,000 to go in total.
Only Hand came along to the 
flop on which Joyce continued for 163,800 and picked up a call. The battle of the big stacks continued to the 
turn on which both players checked and Joyce bet the 
river for 196,560. Hand moved all-in for 599,089 and Joyce reluctantly folded.
