Derden Takes the Lead

Mickey Doft

Preston Derden is up to about 870,000 after eliminating David Kraus. The board read {2-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts} and they got it all in on the flop.

Derden: {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}
Kraus: {8-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}

The {8-Spades} hit the turn and Kraus came from way behind to take the lead, but the {7-Diamonds} river card made a straight for Derden, sending Kraus to the rail.
