Brian Altman Takes Late-Night Chip Lead
Brian Altman has been chipping up quickly in the late levels of the night, including in these two hands just witnessed.
In the first hand, with the board reading 
, the big blind checked, and Altman bet 8,000 in late position, enough to put his opponent all in. His opponent called, and Altman showed him the bad news: 
for the nut flush.
The next hand, heads-up again, the flop was 
, and Altman's opponent in the big blind checked. Altman bet 3,500 in middle position, and his opponent check-raised to 8,500. Altman called, and they both checked the 
turn. The river was the 
, and the big blind checked. Altman bet 18,000, about half his opponent's stack, and his opponent tank-called.
Altman had the goods again — this time, it was 
for nines full of queens to win that pot, too. He took the chip lead with those two pots and is the only player over 200,000 for the moment.
