Hodge Takes Massive Chip Lead
Level 14
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
In a battle of the blinds, Mark Hodge checked a 
flop and saw Joe Barnard bet 9,000. Hodge raised to 20,000, and Barnard tossed in a call after some thought. On the 
turn, Hodge bet 15,000, and Barnard cut out enough chips for a raise before electing to just call. Hodge fired once more with 30,000 on the 
river, and Barnard shoved after thinking it over for awhile.
Hodge snap-called and tabled 
for fours full. Barnard winged 
into the middle in disgust, and the dealer determined Hodge's stack to be 152,600.
