Menendez Is Our New Chip Leader

Julian Menendez Sends One Home
Julian Menendez Sends One Home

Julian Menendez, the winner of the 2011 PokerStars.net LAPT Colombia has become our new chip leader.

A player opened for 4,300 and Menendez three-bet to 9,000 from the button. His opponent called and the flop came {J-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Spades}. His opponent checked and Menendez casually tossed out 10,000. His opponent called and the {3-Spades} came on fourth street.

Once again his opponent checked and Menedez continued with his aggression, throwing out a bet of 17,000. After roughly a minute of deliberation, his opponent announced all in and Menendez snap called.

Menendez: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Opponent: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Menendez had the hand locked up and his opponent was already walking away from the table when the meaningless {J-Hearts} fell on the river.
