Selouan Takes Chip Lead in Biggest Pot of Tournament
Level 20
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
You've got to win your flips to win a tournament, and Rodrigo Selouan just picked a great time to win a huge one.
After Orpen Kisacikoglu raised to 80,000 in the cutoff, Selouan moved all in for 770,000 in the big blind.
Kisacikoglu called and the duo was off to a massive race for the overwhelming chip lead.
Rodrigo Selouan: 
Orpen Kisacikoglu: 
The dealer then spread a flop of 
, giving Selouan the lead with top two pair. The 
on the turn cinched the hand for Selouan, with the meaningless 
dealt on the river.
On the following hand to add insult to injury, Selouan moved all in from his small blind into Kisacikoglu's big blind, forcing a fold, and claiming a bonus 80,000 in chips from the Turk.
