Altergott Takes The Lead

Level 20 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Sorel Mizzi raised to 160,000 from the button with {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Max Altergott called from the big blind with {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

The flop rolled out {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades} and Altergott check-called 140,000. On the turn the {6-Hearts} hit and this time he check-called 465,000. The river brought the {6-Spades} and Altergott checked again. Mizzi tanked for a long time, put together a bet but eventually he checked behind.

Altergott took down this big pot and he's now in the chip lead for the first time since the final table started.
