Haugen May Be Leader

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Matt Haugen may be the chip leader.
Matt Haugen may be the chip leader.

Matt Haugen bet 4,000 after an opponent checked to him on a flop of {j-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. The player, who was in the small blind, check-raised to 10,000. Haugen made the call, and the small blind pushed all in for about 36,000 on the {9-Diamonds} turn. Haugen once again called, this time after thinking for a few minutes.

Haugen: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Small blind: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The small blind had been purely speculating on the flop, but turned a diamond flush draw and decided to try to force Haugen out. Unfortunately for him, Haugen wasn't folding his overpair, and a {7-Hearts} river meant Haugen got all of his opponent's chips.

Haugen has cleared the 400,000 mark, and he appears to be the chip leader.
