Held Wins Battle of Chip Leaders
Nível 19
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of 5♦6♠9♦7♣ and roughly 270,000 already in the middle, Justus Held bet 85,000 from the big blind and was called by Aleksandr Kirichenko from under the gun.
Held fired again for 160,000 on the J♥ river. Kirichenko, looking slightly exasperated with the situation, flicked in the call.
Held turned over 7♥5♥ for two pair to take the chip lead from Kirichenko.
Elsewhere in the tournament area, Giorgiy Skhulukhiya was recently eliminated.
