Championship: A Better Start for Conrad

$1,650 WPO Championship (Re-Entry)
Level 7: 250/500 with a 75 ante
Entries: 103

Chris Conrad

Chris Conrad is on his second entry in this Championship and yet again drew the seat next to friend and travelmate Russ Head. Entry number two is proving to be a bit better for Conrad as he recently doubled after calling off his chips in a heads up pot.

The board was 5h4s3s8h and Conrad was under the gun. The button player moved all in having Conrad covered. After some thought, Conrad called.

Conrad: TsTc for an overpair
Button player: 6s5s fair a pair plus straight and flush draws

River: 8h

The opponent missed his slew of outs and Conrad’s tens held. He double up to about 47,000.
