Meinders Moves Ahead

Brian Meinders appears to be our chip leader at the moment, having pushed out past the 400,000-chip mark. Sitting to his left (at what is presently a five-handed table) are Layne Flack and Bill Edler.

We just saw Edler open with a raise to 4,100 from under the gun. He had placed his cards out before his stack as he did, and the dealer almost grabbed them before Edler stopped him. It folded around to Flack, and when he called from the big blind, Edler joked that maybe it would've been better if his cards had been dragged into the muck.

But after the {J-Diamonds}

flop, Flack check-folded to Edler's continuation bet. Edler now has about 125,000, and Flack 95,000.

Turn Proves It's Worth

Just before the break, James Sudworth catapulted up to almost 250,000. There was a raise from the hijack and a call from the cut-off. Sudworth reraised to 11,500 from the button, and both players called.

The {J-Spades}

was checked to Sudworth, who bet 22,000. The hijack folded and the cut-off quickly moved all-in with Sudworth instantly calling.

Sudworth: {J-Diamonds}

Cut-off:

The turn was the {10-Diamonds}

to make Sudworth a bigger boat and the {6-Diamonds}

river confirmed it.
