Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stack

Matt Hawrilenko just picked up another sizable pot without having to see a flop. Josh Brikis had opened from the hijack seat for 105,000, Hawrilenko raised to 325,000 from the cutoff, then Faraz Jaka made it 700,000 from the button.

The blinds and Brikis quickly folded, then Hawrilenko softly said he was all in. Jaka immediately patted the table as he folded his cards.

That post moves Hawrilenko close the chip lead, though he, Brikis, and Jaka are all very close to the 3.5 million chip mark.
