Matthew Leecy Uses Chip Stack to his Adavantage

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Matthew Leecy has found himself in the middle of the Amazon Room in the Rio Convention Center, but he is near the top of the chip counts early on in Day 1a of Event #5: THE COLOSSUS III - $565 Colossus No-Limit Hold'em.

Leecy just recently arrived at a new table with a rack of chips and he raised to 500 from early position. Both the button and the small blind called, and there were three players to the flop. The dealer fanned the flop of {Q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and the small blind checked. Leecy bet 800 and both players folded allowing Leecy to scoop the pot and add to his chip stack.
