A Chip Leader Emerges

Deep-stacked Jeremiah Smith and another player got it all in preflop, creating a pot of about 70,000 chips. Smith held {J-?} {J-?} and was well ahead of his opponent's {9-?} {9-?}. The board provided no help to the at-risk player, and Smith claimed another victim. He has moved up steadily today, and he is now our Day 2 chip leader with 281,000.
