Kandiah With A Kicker

Ajax isn't just a popular brand of bleach, it's a town in Canada where Illan Kandiah lives, and that's relevant because Kandiah has suddenly vaulted into the chip lead on over 300,000 in chips after a huge hand with one-time big stack Brian Jamesgaard.

Jamesgaard turned the into trip queens, and after a series of raises, pushed all in for heaps with huge kicker problems. Kandiah called with the to make it a 300,000-plus chip pot and when the dust settled, he was on top of the mountain with Jamesgaard out.

Kandiah is now the favorite to bag the lead heading into the night's last level.

Anne Jones used to be a favorite to bag big as well, but she just flopped a set of jacks against Ernie Guardarrah's aces. They ultimately got it in after trading raises for a while and Guardarrah hit an ace on the river.
