Hand #84: Jim Courtney Takes the Chip Lead

David Sands min-raises under the gun to 80,000, and Jim Courtney (pictured above) calls from the button. The flop comes [Kd8s6c], Sands checks, Courtney bets 100,000, and Sands calls.

The turn is the [10s], Sands checks, Courtney bets 150,000, and Sands calls. The river is the [2c], and both players check.

Courtney shows [KcQs] to win the pot — and take the chip lead — with a pair of kings, and Sands mucks.
