McCaigue Adds to His Big Stack
Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
Jason Atherley opened for 2,200 from middle position and the player in the hijack called. The button did the same and then chip leader Ryan McCaigue three-bet to 12,500 from the small blind.
Atherley folded, the player in the hijack called off for approximately 10,000, and the button got out of the way.
McCaigue: 
Hijack: 
McCaigue was dominated but he had been running hot on Day 1a. That heater continued when the flop came down 
to give him the lead with a pair of sevens.
Neither the 
turn nor 
river altered his lead and he scored the knockout and added to his already monster stack.
