A Double For Nacho, A New Chip Leader & A Slow River Call

Nacho Barbero has just doubled up. He was holding {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} on a {3-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {K-Spades} {2-Diamonds} board and now has 44,000.

We have another centurion in the room with 127,000 chips. His name is Christopher Polzin who told us he amassed his stack by getting great hands and betting strong draws.

Ogjnen Sekularac has just ended up splitting a pot he must have been sure he was winning. There was a raise from first position and Sekularac called on the button. The flop was {8-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}, the initial raiser bet 1,100, Sekularac raised to 3,300 and the initial raiser called. Before the dealer could show the table the turn, the initial raiser checked in the dark. The turn card was the {A-Hearts} and Sekularac also checked. Finally we saw the {K-Spades} and the initial raiser bet 5,400. All eyes on Sekularac and he made it 8,025 more. The initial raiser tanked for a good few minutes before making the call and showed down the exact same hand as Sekularac - {A-} {8-}.
