Paik Seizes Lead
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Albert Paik has edged in front of Ivan Leow. It was Paik driving the action with a raise to 75,000 on the button and Leow calling from the small blind to take the action heads-up to a flop of 
.
The action went check, check, and Leow decided to take a stab on the 
turn for 110,000, which Paik smooth-called. The 
river saw Leow look like betting, but then decided to check and Paik fired for 125,000.
After a few moments thinking it over Leow folded and started grilling Paik about what he had, with the US player telling the table he had a full house.
