A New Chip Leader!

Wow, talk about a great two hands for Shawn "sprstoner" Glines. First he went runner-runner into a straight to climb to 216,000 (we were watching Nam Le tank on a different table and didn't see the action).

The next hand, Glines called a raise to 7,000 from a middle-position player. The small blind also called for a three-way flop of {4-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}. Action checked to Glines, who led out for 10,000. Only the small blind called.

The turn was the {Q-Spades}. The small blind checked again, then jammed for more than 70,000 chips after Glines bet 20,000. Glines double-fist-pump-snap-called with {4-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}. His opponent was drawing mighty thin with {10-Spades} {10-Hearts}. No ten on the river; ship the chips to Glines.

It took a while for Glines to stack all the chips, but when he was done his stack totaled 340,000.
