Bianchi Gets There, Increasing Chip Lead

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

In one of the first hands of heads-up action, Paul Bianchi opened to 250,000 on the button, and Christopher Audrain called.

The {2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{k-Spades} flop came down, and Audrain check-called a downbet of 200,000.

Action went check-check on the {3-Spades} turn, which put a third spade on board. Bianchi bet 425,000 on the river when checked to, and Audrain single-chip-snapped once more. Audrain had flopped top pair and rivered a flush with his {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}, but Bianchi binked the river for the nuts with {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, winning the hand and securing 3/4 of the chips in play.
