Brzezinski Takes the Chip Lead
Tomasz Brzezinski A♠A♥ limped in from the small blind and Mykhailo Ostash 10♥6♣ checked his option from the big blind. Brzezinski led out for 125,000 on the Q♣4♣4♦ flop, and folded out Ostash.
In another limped pot between the blinds, Ostash K♠8♥ and Adria Calonge Q♣4♣ saw the Q♠J♣4♠ flop. Ostash check-folded to a bet of 225,000.
Ostash K♣6♣ raised to 250,000 from the button and Brzezinski J♦10♥ defended. Ostash made a flush on the J♣7♣3♣ flop, while Brzezinski had top pair. The latter check-called for 225,000 and improved to trips on the J♠ turn, but still remained behind. Brzezinski check-called for 750,000.
The 7♥ river double-paired the board to give Brzezinski a full house and the checkmark. It checked through to showdown and Brzezinski took the chip lead.
