Forman Gains Chip Lead
Level 34
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
With about 1,600,000 in the middle the board read K♣J♦4♣Q♣K♥, and Miroslav Forman bet 500,000 before Alexander Tkatschew dropped a stack of chips across the line for a raise to 5,400,000.
Forman took only a few seconds before making the call. Tkatschew tabled Q♦J♠ for a counterfeit two pair, and Forman showed K♠10♣, making trip tens to take the chip lead.
