Owen Extends Lead Early
Level 16
: 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Day 1 chip leader Adam Owen is picking up right where he left off Sunday.
Owen limped his small blind, then called a raise from Steven Gurney-Goldman in the big blind.
Both players drew two cards, then Owen led out with a bet, which Gurney-Goldman called.
Owen drew one while his opponent again drew two.
Owen led out dark, and was again called by Gurney-Goldman.
This time, Owen patted and Gurney-Goldman drew one again.
On the final betting round, Owen bet again, but after a brief moment of thought was raised.
Owen made the call, and Gurney-Goldman frowned.
Owen went ahead and showed 
which was the winner, and he now approaches 300,000 in chips as the day is just underway.
