Paterson in Front

Just before the break...
We picked up the action on the flop in what would develop into quite a big pot. There were four players to the
flop, and Stuart Paterson bet 1,400. That got him heads up with a lone opponent as they moved to the
turn. A check from Paterson and his opponent brought them to the
river, and the unknown player now led out with a bet of 2,500. Paterson wasted no time raising to 9,500, but that wasn't going to get it done. His opponent promptly reraised to 25,500, and Paterson flat-called to see what was what.
His opponent made a quip about playing the board as he showed (for three pair), and Paterson's
was easily good enough to drag the pot. Queens full have moved Paterson up into the chip lead with about 95,000 chips in front of him.
