Cordero Catching Cards

Start-of-day chip leader Alex Cordero has bounced back in a big way, playing a high percentage of hands and gathering chips at a rapid pace as the field dwindles down toward 100.

He's won several pots over the last 15 minutes, including knocking out Francois Pirault along the way. In that one Pirault was all in with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} against Cordero's {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}, and when the board rolled out {5-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, Cordero had a set, Pirault was out in 107th, and Cordero was on his way toward pushing his stack over the 350,000-chip mark.
