Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Toronto, Canada's Barry Kruger plays every big tournament in this part of the world and has had a ton of success doing so.

In fact, he's got $340,213 in career live tournament earnings with his biggest lifetime score coming from a second-place finish in the 2013 World Poker Tour Canadian Spring Championship just outside of Montreal, Canada for $265,614.

Today he's vaulted into the chip lead here in Level 9 riding a huge rush of great cards and perfect set ups.

Kruger has rivered a flush, picked up pocket aces, won with big slick and even flopped a queen-high straight getting paid off when his heads-up opponent rivered a smaller one.
