Courtney Near the Top of the Leaderboard
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
On the rail end of a A♠A♥6♥Q♠5♣ board, Alan Jung checked and faced a bet of 80,000 by Stephen Courtney. Jung reluctantly called and instantly showed his J♠J♦, which was no good as Courtney had the A♣Q♥ for the nut full house.
Another big stack added some chips and that was Gavin Sardini. On a 8♣4♥3♠ flop, Sardini in the small blind and Benjamin Lingenfelder Jr in the big blind checked. Keenan Pienaar bet 18,000 on the button and Sardini called. Lingenfelder Jr check-raised to 50,000 and Sardini was the only caller.
Both checked the 6♥ turn and Sardini bet the 9♣ river for 80,000, Lingenfelder Jr reluctantly folded.
