Raj Ramakrishnan Takes The Chip Lead

[user92162]

Raj Ramakrishnan has taken the chip lead after playing a massive pot with Ralf Westphal.

Westphal had been one of the flight leaders with Ramakrishnan just slightly in front of him in chips at the time.

The players took a flop of {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{j-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

with all the money going in on the flop and Ramakrishnan holding the advantage with {j-?}

{j-?}

{9-?}

two pairs against Westphal's {Q-?}

{Q-?}

{q-?}

overpair.

Westphal was not able to spike the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

turn or

{6-Hearts}

river and so hits the rail. Ramakrishnan is up to approximately 100,000 in chips.
