Just before the break...

We picked up the action on the flop in what would develop into quite a big pot. There were four players to the {J-Clubs} {3-Spades} {J-Spades} flop, and Stuart Paterson bet 1,400. That got him heads up with a lone opponent as they moved to the {Q-Clubs} turn. A check from Paterson and his opponent brought them to the {Q-Hearts} river, and the unknown player now led out with a bet of 2,500. Paterson wasted no time raising to 9,500, but that wasn't going to get it done. His opponent promptly reraised to 25,500, and Paterson flat-called to see what was what.

His opponent made a quip about playing the board as he showed {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} (for three pair), and Paterson's {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} was easily good enough to drag the pot. Queens full have moved Paterson up into the chip lead with about 95,000 chips in front of him.
