[user75032]

Antonio Fazzolari raced out to the chip lead early today, but he has surrendered it to Martin Rowe. The two men and Frank Saffioti took a limped flop of {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{K-Spades}

. Fazzolari was first to act and bet 75,000. Both players called. On the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

turn, Fazzolari bet 150,000. This time, only Rowe called.

Fazzolari fired a third bullet on the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

river, making it 150,000 to proceed to the showdown. Rowe called a third time. His {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

made two pair, kings and threes, to beat Fazzolari's {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

two pair, sevens and threes.

With that pot, Rowe took over the chip lead from Fazzolari. Rowe now has 2.9 million in chips; Fazzolari has 2.3 million.
