O'Shea Closing in on a Million
We just saw a monster pot take place that resulted in Tim O'Shea vaulting into the chip lead. It happened when O'Shea opened under the gun and Josh Barrett defended from the big blind. A raising war ensued on the 
flop before the 
was put out on the turn. At this point, Barrett check-called a bet of 125,000, and followed that up with another check-call of 150,000 on the 
river.
O'Shea rolled over 
for a straight, and Barrett exclaimed, "How do you have a six there?" Barrett revealed that he held 
and was clearly upset at losing the monster pot. With that, O'Shea is the tournament chip leader.
