John Andress

The stacks have thinned out a bit at this level, and every pot that involves more than preflop action contains enough chips to make it significant for both players.

John Andress is winning the tug of war at the moment, and he’s inched into the lead over the course of the last few orbits.

In a recent pot, Andress opened the button to 250,000. Leah defended his big blind, then check-called a bet of 300,000 on the 7s3d2s flop. Andress bet another 550,000 after the Qs turn, and Leah waved the white flag.

John Andress – 6,300,000 (53 bb)
Mike Leah – 5,400,000 (45 bb)
