There's a New Big Stack In Town

Gilbert Drolet
Gilbert Drolet
Gilbert Drolet has assumed the pole position here on Day 1a with a chip stack of nearly 80,000. Just recently, Drolet fired a bet of 2,200 on a board of {Q-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {4-Hearts}. His opponent made the call.

The river completed the board with the {10-Spades} and Drolet fired 3,700. His opponent again made the call, only slower this time around. Drolet tabled {J-Clubs} {8-Clubs} for a rivered straight and scooped the pot.
