Carter Gill, who led for larger portions of the APT Macau event last week, has just doubled through David Chiu in a huge pot to claim the tournament chip lead here on Day 1c of the APPT Macau.

The flop came down {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{6-Hearts}

{4-Clubs}

, which sparked an all-in confrontation. Chiu held {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

for an overpair with an inside straight draw, but would need to improve against Gill's {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{7-Hearts}

for top two pair.

As players from nearby tables gathered to watch, the turn fell the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

and river the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

to give Gill a double-up to 38,000 chips with Chiu now back amongst the pack with only 7,000.
