A New Chip Leader Emerges

In no-limit hold'em, all it takes is one big hand. Alexander Soderlund got his one big hand when he rivered a full house on a board of {5-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}. Soderlund's opponent led out for 6,000, a bet that Soderlund raised to 17,000. His opponent asked him for a count (about 24,000 behind), then shoved all in for a total of 48,000. Soderlund snap-called and was shown a stone bluff, {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}. Soderlund tabled his {10-Spades} {10-Clubs} to take down a 92,000-chip pot and take over the chip lead.
