Jackson Takes Down Big Pot, Probable Chip Lead

We just saw a huge pot get taken down by big stack Ronnie Jackson that gave him the likely chip lead of the day thus far.

A middle position player raised it up to 900 preflop and Jackson from the cutoff re-raised to 2,600. The button player called as did the middle position player.

The flop came down {8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{a-Spades} and the middle position player checked to Jackson who bet 7,000. Both players called and saw the turn {8-Clubs} Again the middle position player checked to Jackson who this time bet 15,000. The button folded and the middle position player tanked for a few minutes before finally making the all in call for his remaining 8,000.

Jackson showed {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for a full house and the middle position player shook his head and showed {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for two pair. He was drawing dead to an ace which did not come on the river and he hit the rail. Jackson scooped what was clearly not his first big pot of the day and is now up to 145,000 and atop the counts as far as we know.
