A Leader Emerges

No-Limit

A player opened the pot with a preflop raise, and he found calls from Tim Vansant and Brian Meinders down the line.

The three men took a flop of {3-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, and the raiser continued out with a bet of 1,300. Vansant called, but Meinders stuck in a raise to 3,600 straight. The initial raiser came back over the top with another raise to 8,600, Vansant moved all in, Meinders folded, and the raiser called with the covering stack. Both he and Vansant had over 25,000 chips, so there was a huge pot up for grabs as the cards were turned over:

Vansant: {8-}{8-}
Opponent: {A-}{A-}

Vansant's set held as the turn and river bricked out, and he's doubled his way up into the chip lead with 56,000.
