Stang and Swann Trade Eliminations and the Chip Lead
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Bernie Stang had called putting Kenta Ito at risk, with Stang's Q♥9♥ coming out best against the A♠10♠ of Ito on 8♥5♣2♦9♠6♣.
Moments later, tablemate Lauchlan Swann had opened to 7,000 and then shoved after Alex Lee three-bet to 22,000. Lee called for his last 105,000 and the cards were turned over.
Alex Lee: AxQx
Lauchlan Swann: 7♥7♦
The A♣K♥6♣ flop saw Lee move into the lead. The turn was the 2♣ but the river 8♠ saw Swann river a set to take down the pot and move into the overall chip lead as the first player over 300,000 in chips.
