Golinski Takes Chip Lead
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Bruno Lopes open-raised from late position and Mariusz Golinski three-bet to 6,000 from the small blind. Lopes flicked in chips to make the call.
The flop came 3♣6♠A♥ and Golinski continued for 2,500, which Lopes called. Both players then checked it back on the 5♦ turn.
The river was the 9♦ and Golinski fired out a large bet of 15,000, nearly a pot sized bet. Lopes made the call and Golinski turned over A♣K♣ for top pair, top kicker. Lopes mucked his hand and his stack was reduced to around 10,000.
Golinski, meanwhile, after returning from the break third in chips, overtook Konnikova and Almeida to claim the chip lead.
