Heads up action has been long and quite active, but Jaered Besse has just taken a clear lead for the first time, almost 2 full levels in to the 2-way play.
The hand started unremarkably – there was a standard raise and call, and the flop was dealt: . Both players were happily all-in before you know it and their hands were turned over:
Ruben:
Jaered:
Flopped trips against a flush draw! The turn didn’t give Ruben the flush but it did give him additional open-ended straight outs – . But Jaered faded all of the flush and straight outs on the river.
Play continues with a new chip leader: Jaered Besse.
