Croteau Claims the Chip Lead
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Albert Croteau raised to 200,000 with A♠8♦ in the hijack, and Anton Saich called with 5♠5♥ on the button.
Both players checked through the A♦7♠6♣ flop, and Croteau tapped the table again on the 4♠ turn. Saich fired a bet of 300,000, and the call was made.
Croteau then led out for 350,000 on the Q♥ river, and Saich thought it over before making the call. Croteau showed his ace, claiming the pot and taking over the chip lead.
