Cole South lighting it up

By Sean Lind

Full Tilt pro Cole South, a CardRunners.com member and instructor, has been heating up the High Limit action on Full Tilt, as he's currently involved in a heated battle against the online player Bob_Cooper.

Out of the 10 largest pots of the day (all of which ending in one of the players going all-in), Cole South has been involved in eight of them, including all of the top five. Not only that, but the top four have all been against Bob_Cooper.

In these four exchanges, Cole South is up around $50,000 over Bob_Cooper. Some of the other notable players to have sat in on this frenzy of action include Allen Cunningham, Brian Hastings, Maekus Golser, NeverFoLd and Urindanger.

Not only was Cole South tossing around his chips on the PLO front; he also sat heads-up with Ziigmund, for some Deep Stack $200/$400 NL Hold'em. The session had its swings, with Cole up $110k at one point. Ziigmund turned his session around though to finish the day with a $50k profit.
