Four players saw a flop of ![]()
![]()
and action checked to William Migely who bet. Two opponents folded and Yasho Chin made a pot-sized check-raise. Migely jammed to put Chin to a decision for her stack and she snap-called. The two players were very nearly even in chips.

Migley: ![]()

Chin had the lead with top set but Migely had the nut-flush draw, so Chin had to dodge diamonds in order to double-up.
The

river gave Migely the nut flush and he took the pot to send Chin to the cage and seize the chip lead by miles.

It’s been a very productive first two levels for Darren Taylor from the United Kingdom. Taylor has more than doubled his stack to over 200,000 and is sitting with an impressively constructed tower of chips in front of him.
The floor has offered to rack up some of the lower denomination chips for him, but Taylor declined for the moment as he was quite happy with the situation.
“Okay, no problem, but I’ll be coming for them eventually.” said the floor.
“Not if I get them first.” quipped another player.
