Action was opened in late position by Michael Cologna to 16,000. He got one caller on the button.
Cologna was working off of a middling stack most of the day but got a huge influx of chips in the last few levels and is on his way up the leaderboards.
The A♠7♦6♠ flop hit the felt and and Cologna took his time before betting out for 23,500. His opponent on the button thought over his options but eventually found a fold and Cologna got the chips.
He has been steadily pulling in chips and is playing the big stack well.

Action folded all the way to Leno Thomas in the small blind who took his time before moving all in having the big blind covered.
The big blind sat in the tank for almost three minutes before eventually finding a call and getting the bad news.
Big Blind: A♣2♦
Leno Thomas: A♠8♥
The full board ran out J♠8♦8♠3♣7♠ and there would be no sweat for Thomas as he drilled trips and got the knockout.
