Amiri Busts Iskandarov to Take Chip Lead
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ehsan Amiri is the runaway chip leader after he busted Rashad Iskandarov in one of the largest pots of the day so far.
PokerNews didn't catch the action, but Iskandarov was seen pushing his stack of over 300,000 to Amiri on the river before the dealer washed the board. The Australian now sits with a stack of around 890,000, far in front of his closest competitors.
