Glaser Regains Control of the Lead
Back-to-back big hands have built up Benny Glaser's chip lead again, while putting Oscar Johansson on the short stack.
Oscar Johansson raised in the small blind and got a call from Benny Glaser in the big blind. Johansson drew one while Glaser took two.
Johansson bet and got another call from Glaser and each drew the same amount of cards.
After that second draw, Johansson continued to bet, but now Glaser raised it up, getting a call from Johansson.
Johansson needed to draw one while Glaser stood pat.
Johansson then checked, as did Glaser, with Johansson declaring "king" to the delight of Glaser who showed 9x8x7x5x4x for the winner.
In the following hand, Glaser got bets on every street from Johanson again, this time showing him eight-perfect (8x5x4x3x2x) on the end to take another pot that now sees Glaser solidly in the lead.
