Anderson Gets Lucky To Become Chip Leader

Level 8 : 300/600, 150 ante

Big O

Calvin Anderson opened with a raise to 1,300 under the gun. From the cutoff a player reraised to 4,200. Action folde back to Anderson who dropped into the tank.

"I'm gonna have to get lucky here," Anderson said. "Do you want me to try to get lucky?"

"You do what's best for you," Anderson's opponent said.

Anderson opted to just call and the two took a flop of {2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. Both players checked and the {5-Hearts} came on the turn. Anderson plopped out a pot size bet that would put his opponent all in and he quickly called.

Anderson showed {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{2-Hearts}{J-Spades} for a low and a straight. His opponent was just holding {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for ace seven for a low and two pair. The river was the {J-Clubs} and that would be it for the player. Anderson took down the pot and moved into the chip lead just before break.
