The Rich Get Richer

Tyler Cornell just won a huge pot to put him at 172,000 and at the top of our counts.

On a flop of {9-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} an early position player checked, Cornell checked, and a late position player bet out for 3,600, the early position player called, Cornell raised it up to 10,200, the late position player folded, the early position player re-raised all in and Cornell called tabling {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for top two pair. The all in player just continued to scream "Man Oh Man Oh Man Oh Man" and wouldn't flip over his cards. Eventually they were flipped over and showed {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs} The initial raiser in the pot said that he also had {j-}{9-}

The board ran out {k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Cornell scored the knockout and the big chip stack.
