Neuville Claims Lead With Biggest Pot of the Tournament
The biggest pot (easily) of the tournament so far has seen Team PokerStars Pro Pierre Neuville rocket into the chip lead with close to a million chips.
The Belgian raised to 12,000 from first position and was called by Michael Tureniec on the button and Jacob Rasmussen in the small blind.
The flop fell 
and the action checked to Tureniec who bet 21,500. Rasmussen called but Neuville check-raised to 100,000. Tureniec called but the Dane folded to leave the other two heads up to the 
turn. Neuville led for 100,000 and called all-in when his Swedish opponent shoved.
Neuville opened 
for a turned two-pair. Tureniec was ahead until that juncture with 
, but now he was behind and stayed that way after the 
river.
