Von Kriegenbergh Eliminates Three in Short Order
Taylor von Kriegenbergh has been on such a heater as of late that he has hardly found time to stack his chips. In one hand, von Kriegenbergh raised to 12,500 under the gun only to have the big blind move all in for 64,000. Von Kriegenbergh made the call and the cards were revealed:
Von Kriegenbergh: 
Big Blind: 
The board ran out 
and von Kriegenbergh sent one player to the rail. On the very next hand, von Kriegenbergh held 
and called another short-stacked player's shove. His opponent's 
was no match as the board ran out 
and von Kriegenbergh sent another to the rail.
A few hands after that, Canadian pro Anh Van Nguyen moved all in from early position for his last 80,000 and was quickly called by von Kriegenbergh:
Nguyen: 
Von Kriegenbergh: 
Once again the board ran out clean for von Kriegenbergh when it came 
. Just like that, Nguyen joined those in the payout line. After all that, von Kriegenbergh is sitting with 1.39 million and looks to be the chip leader.
