Ismael Bojang has rebuilt his stack in a big way and is now pushing for the chip lead as the night nears its end.

After a raise to 8,000 in middle position and two calls, Bojang three-bet from the small blind to 35,000.

His three potential opponents all folded, awarding Bojang the pot without seeing a flop.

"A good hand, but not a great hand", said Bojang.

"I could have called also." he continued as he dragged the pot.
