The Man In Charge
There's little doubt Steven Hensley has built a massive stack in this event through some aggressive play.
But proving discretion is often the better part of valor, no one could accuse the early chip leader of recklessness. In fact, we watched as he made it 1,300 from under the gun plus one only to fold when the small blind shipped it in for 16k or more.
He then picked up the blinds with an under the gun raise before folding his big blind to a raise from the same player. But when the shorty got a little too active once more, making it 1,800 from under the gun, he joined a chorus of callers from the button, including both blinds.
Following the flop, checks from the blinds and the original raiser, Hensley couldn't help but fire away, pushing 4,200 across the line.
Aggression worked this time as all three opponents folded and our big stack bully continued to build.
