Brian Altman

Brian Altman has held the chip lead for a good chunk of play on Day 1A, and despite losing a recent pot he still leads the field with a stack of 287,000.

In that hand there was 12,000 in the pot, and the flop read AsKsKc when Altman bet 2,000 from the button.

His opponent check-called from the cutoff before the turn fell 7c, and then Altman check-called 10,000 against his opponents bet.

The river delivered the 9s, Altman bet 13,000, and the cutoff check-raised to 40,000. Altman folded his cards to leave himself with his current lead of 247,000.

Brian Altman – 247,000 (247 bb)
