"Let's Just Bag Up Now and Go Home"

Jason Somerville grabbed the chip lead.
Jason Somerville grabbed the chip lead.

Jason Somerville got his day off to a fast start. We missed the action but Somerville was nice enough to give us the Cliff's Notes.

The player in the cutoff opened, Somerville flatted on the button, the small blind moved all in, the cutoff moved all in and Somerville called.

Somerville: {J-} {J-}
Cutoff: {A-} {K-}
Small Blind: {A-} {Q-}

The board ran {K-} {K-} {J-} {10-} {2-} and Somerville's flopped full house eliminated two opponents. He quickly soared into the chip lead. While he was stacking his chips the dealer said something to the effect that he could just back home.

"Let's just bag up now and go home," Somerville said.
