Goya Bombs the River to Take the Chip Lead
Level 9
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
A player in the cutoff raised to 8,000 and Dante Goya called on the button. Michel Pereira then three-bet to 28,000 in the small blind, and only Goya called.
The flop came 10♣8♠8♦ and Pereira bet 25,000. Goya called to see the 4♣ turn, where Pereira bet another 80,000. Goya again called.
Pereira slowed down and checked the 6♣ river, and Goya bet 175,000. Pereira folded and used his winner showdown, and Goya turned over K♣J♣ for a rivered flush as he took in the pot to move over 700,000.
Another chip lead contender late on Day 1d is Masato Yokosawa, who has moved up past 600,000.
