There are gross runouts, and then there’s what just occurred at Table 1.
The action folded around to Jean-Luc Bardu in the hijack, who raised to two times the big blind. But Freddie West wasn’t content with just that, and pushed all in for 34,000 from the button. Sam Chase asked for a count and decided to call from the small blind, which elicited an instant shove from Andrew Lind. Bardu folded, and Lind’s 48,000 wasn’t enough more to make Chase leave. All three men showed their holdings, Lind having the best of it and a commanding lead, at around 86% to win.

Chase:
West:
Things looked good for Lind, but a flop of meant that it wasn’t over just yet. With still better than 83% to win, the turn brought which meant West would be hitting the rail at the very least. Even still, Lind was better than 75% to more than double heading into the home stretch of Day 1A here at Canterbury Park…
But it was not to be, as the brought the four-flush to grant Chase the double K.O. He now holds a commanding lead, as both West and Lind head for the exit. Chase soars to amongst the chip leaders with the monster hand, as the clock ticks over to Level 14.
