McTaggart Moving Up

Paul McTaggart began today with a healthy plus-150,000 chip stack, and has been steadily adding to it all afternoon and early evening.

Just now McTaggart was raising again from early position — to 2,000 — and getting a single caller in the big blind. The pair checked the {Q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop and {J-Spades} turn, then when checked to after the {K-Diamonds} river, a McTaggart bet was enough to claim the small pot.

He's climbed up over 280,000 now, one of the bigger stacks in the Purple section of the Amazon Room.
