[user67765]

Steve Topakas

Steve Topakas raised to 140,000 from the button and Christian Heich made the call out of the big blind.

Both players checked the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{9-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

flop and a repeat {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

fell on the turn. Heich decided to take a stab at the pot with a 150,000 chip bet. Topakas made the call.

The river was the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

and Heich fired again, this time for 250,000. Topakas again made the call. Heich tabled {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

for a missed draw as Topakas collected the healthy pot with his {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

.

Topakas now assumes the chip lead with over 1.5 million chips.
