Weekes Lead Gets Stronger

Jonathan Weekes
Jonathan Weekes

A massive hand just played out on the back corner table in the tournament room. It's a minefield of a lineup, with many big stacks including Jonathan Weekes, Luca Pagano, Ali Tekintamgac, and Daniel Aldridge. But now, it's just all about Weekes.

We arrived with a lot of money in the middle on a {5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} board. Aldridge bet something in the 20,000s, and Weekes called. A lot of river cards could have made things interesting, and the {4-Hearts} was certainly one of them. Aldridge carefully bet 42,300. He looked ill when Weekes responded by raising to 150,000. Aldridge spent a few minutes in agonized thought. Weekes leaned back in his chair, arms folded across his stomach, trying to appear calm while barely breathing. Finally, Aldridge announced a call. And Weekes got the chance to show {4-Spades}{4-Clubs} for rivered quads.

After shipping a chunk of his stack across the felt, Aldridge was left with 210,000. Weekes is the towering chip leader now with 780,000.
