John Bednarczyk Surges to the Top

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

John Bednarczyk has found a hot seat at his new table and after a couple big pots he now finds himself at the top of the leaderboard.

On a board reading {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{A-Clubs} and with around 5,800 in the middle already, Bednarczyk moved all in for 9,400 from early position. His opponent thought for a couple minutes before eventually making the call for his remaining 6,300.

Bednarczyk: {K-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Opponent: {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Bednarczyk had the win locked up with the ace-high flush and scooped a big pot.

In the very next hand after joking around with his next opponent, Sunni Pil about being the chip leader, Bednarczyk woke up with another monster. After the flop came {10-}{9-}{6-}, Bednarczyk moved all in with {K-}{K-} and Pil called with {J-}{J-}. Unfortunately for Pil, her pocket jacks were not able to catch up and she was sent to the rail as well.

Bednarczyk now sits with over 31,000 chips heading into the first break of the day.
