Jon "apestyles" Van Fleet: 
Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos:

Theologis Jumps into the Lead
Level 25
: 17,500/35,000, 4,500 ante
Alexandros "Pwndidi" Theologis opened to 60,000 from the button, Stevan "random.chu" Chew called in the big blind and the flop came down 
.
Action checked to Theologis, he bet 31,500 and Chew check-raised to 105,000. Theologis called to see the 
turn card where Chew bet 91,875 and Theologis then instantly shoved.
Chew called for his remaining 221,861 and the two turned over their hands. Chew tabled 
for two pair and Theologis turned over 
for the same two pair with a higher kicker.
An river added insult to injury as Theologis nailed an ace to improve his hand even. Chew was eliminated, sending over enough chips to bump Theologis into the chip lead.
