McLean Rockets Ahead

[user67765]

Luke McLean has just taken down a big pot to join the chip leaders and he was quick to tell our reporters the action.

McLean opened to 550 from middle position with pocket aces and found two callers; one of them Karl Krautschneider. They saw a flop of {A-?}

and the player in the big blind led out for 1,100. McLean popped it up to 3,300 to force a fold from Peter Aristidou and Krautschneider came along for the ride.

The turn was the {7-Hearts}

and Krautschneider led out again, this time for 2,500, but McLean put in another raise, to 7,500 which again was called.

The river was the {10-Diamonds}

to put three diamonds on board, and Krautschneider moved all in for his last 10,000 chips. McLean wasn't deterred and called with his top set, and it was good as Krautschneider showed {A-?}
