Unstoppable Chip Leader Claims Another

Joseph's Stack Still Growing!
Joseph's Stack Still Growing!
Facing a raise from the button, and a reraise from the small blind in front of him, Jeremy Joseph looked down at {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} in the big blind, and decided to put his big stack to work by moving 300,000 into the middle as a massive overbet.

The button folded, and Damien Creurer went into the tank. The media and ESPN cameras gathered around the table to add to the suspense, before he finally decided to gamble and moved all in for an additional 20,000. Joseph made the call.

Joseph: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Creurer: {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

A courageous call by Creurer saw him hold the best hand, but the board fell {9-Hearts}{K-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{K-Clubs} to give Joseph trip kings and the pot, and send Creurer to the exit.

Joseph gets his massive stack heading in the right direction again and now sits with over 2.5 million chips.
