Chartier Over 100K

Sam Chartier already made one big call today to get his stack up to over 60,000 in chips when he picked off a big bluff by an opponent. Chartier held {9-}{7-} on a board that contained an ace, a nine and a pair of queens. His opponent held just pocket fives and had bluff-raised all in on the river. Then, this hand came up and moved Chartier to over the century mark.

Gerard Van Leest raised to 600 and Chartier made the call in the next seat with position. The flop came down {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Van Leest checked. Chartier bet 900 and Van Leest called.

Fourth street added the {3-Diamonds} and Van Leest checked again. Chartier bet 2,800 and Van Leest check-raised the minimum to 5,600. Chartier called.

The {A-Hearts} was revealed on the river and Van Leest quickly shoved all in for 27,875. Chartier looked a bit uneasy and began to tank. He stared at the board, squirmed in his chair and even looked Van Leest up and down. Eventually, Chartier made the call.

Van Leest turned over the {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a rivered pair of aces. Chartier showed the {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for a set of eights and won the pot. Van Leest was eliminated on the hand and passed his chips Chartier's way. Chartier is now over 100,000.
