Pagano Takes a Huge Lead

Luca Time!
Luca Time!

Team PokerStars Pro Luca Pagano just moved into the chip lead, taking almost all of overnight chip leader Samphane Phomveha's chips in a huge hand right before the break.

It all began with a 28k bet from Pagano under the gun. A third player flatted, but Phomveha raised it up to 90,000 from the button. Pagano called and the third player in the hand folded, bringing them heads-up to an {a-Clubs}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop.

Pagano led out for 125,000 and Phomveha made the call. The turn came the {a-Hearts} and after Pagano asked for a count of Phomveha's stack, he fired again, making it 325,000.

Phomveha made the call again, but was put to a decision for almost all of his stack after Pagano shipped it in for some 600,000 on the {10-Spades} river.

After about a minute, he made the call and Pagano turned over {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} having flopped a set and turned a boat.

Phomveha could only show {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and was left crippled.
