It's All About Benjamin

Benjamin Alcober
Benjamin Alcober

For the moment, anyway. That's because Benjamin Alcober is currently our new chip leader, having inched over 1 million chips just prior to the last break.

Just now Alcober was involved in a hand versus a single opponent. The pair together saw a {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop, with Alcober's opponent checking, Alcober betting 14,500, and his opponent calling. The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and another check from Alcober's opponent. This time he fired 21,000, and again was called.

Both players then checked the {A-Hearts} river. Alcober showed {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} for queens, but his opponent had {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for two pair to take a few off the leader.
