Bleeding Chips

Under the gun, Kenneth Fitzgerald raises to 2,200, and Stephen McKinney is the lone caller from middle position.

The dealer spreads out the flop: {2-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}. Fitzgerald leads out with a continuation bet of 4,000. McKinnney comes back with a raise to 21,000, and Fitzgerald moves all in for 44,000. McKinney calls, showing {K-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}, for a straight draw and two overcards. Fitzgerald is ahead with top pair, {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts}, looking to double up and stay alive.

The turn and river are safe for the at-risk player: {10-Diamonds}, {7-Hearts}. Fitzgerald drags in a nice pot and chips all the way up to 85,000.

His opponent, Stephen McKinney, started the day with the chip lead at 92,500, He is going in the wrong direction early, though, and has tumbled all the way down to 34,000 in just a few minutes of play.
