New Chip Daddy

Matthew LaGarde is now your current chip leader with a little over 300,000. With a huge pot forming preflop, LaGarde found himself reraising all in from the button with K-J, only to run into the small blind's pocket rockets.

A king on the flop gave LaGarde a glimmer of hope, but that glimmer soon turned into a Luxor-esque beam of light as he made two pair on the river of a 3-5-K-7-J board.
