Some Big Stacks Being Built
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ed Pineda raised from the cutoff to 4,000 only for Connor Belcher to three-bet all in from the small blind for 18,700. Thomas Desroches in the big blind, then four-bet all in, and Pineda folded.
Connor Belcher: A♠J♦
Thomas Desroches: 8♣8♠
The flop came 10♣4♥Q♥ and when the 8♥ fell on the turn, Belcher needed a king to hit a gutshot and stay alive. No such luck when the 7♠ fell on the river and Belcher was sent packing.
Pineda, who was the initial raiser in the pot, had already built up a stack of over 200,000 and is possibly the early chip leader.
