The rise of Conrad
Chris Conrad is hot on the heels of Jose Barbero for the chiplead as we approach the bubble (56 players left according to the board). Conrad has a huge pile in front of him totalling 330,000 which he built up in a couple of large pots. Firstly he jammed for 80,000 over the top of several limpers with and was called all-in by one of those limpers Jeet Shergill who tabled . Conrad faded the 3 outs and shortly after won 100k pot with tens against AK. 'My table is definitely losing bad players,' said Conrad but with that many chips you can afford to face better opponents.
