Fours Full Make Gregory the New Chip Leader

Derek Gregory raised to 22,000 under the gun only to have Stanislav Barshak three-bet to 58,000 from middle position. The rest of the field got out of the way, Gregory made the call, and the flop came down {3-Clubs}{9-Spades}{A-Diamonds}.

Gregory proceeded to check-raise a 63,000 bet to 126,000, which Barshak three-bet to 210,000. Gregory made the call and then check-called all in for 345,000 when Barshak shoved the {4-Hearts} turn.

Showdown
Gregory: {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Barshak: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Barshak held top pair with top kicker, but Gregory was fortunate enough to turn two pair. The {4-Diamonds} river improved Gregory to a full house, and he took over the chip lead with 1.265 million.
