Irwin Among the Chip Leaders
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Andrew Irwin opened to 5,000 from the cutoff, and got calls from the button and big blind.
The big blind checked, and Irwin continued for 10,000 on the 
flop, with only the button calling.
Irwin bet 22,000 on the 
turn, and 40,000 on the 
river, getting called both times. Irwin turned over the nuts at showdown, with his opponent mucking as Irwin showed 
for the straight.
The aftermath of the hand put Irwin at 347,000, which is one of the first stacks of Day 1a to go over the 300k mark.
