Three levels after he moved to the front of the pack, Amir M. is still the chip leader in this third Day 1 flight in Event 1. He’s controlling his table and his stack has now grown to over 200K in tournament chips.

A recent hand: the player in seat 3 raised in middle position and Amir 3-bet from the small blind. Action returned to seat 3 who chose to 4-bet all-in for about 26K. Amir took his time and called. The players turned their cards:

Amir: Ace of Hearts 4 of Hearts vs Seat 3: Jack of Diamonds 9 of Diamonds

Flop:

3 of Spades 8 of Diamonds 3 of Clubs

Turn:

7 of Hearts

River:

8 of Hearts

Amir stacked a pot of over 50K to improve on his chip lead.
