Thaller Takes the Chip Leader After Brtual Cooler
Daniel Thaller made it 5,000,000 on the button, with Andreas Mavromoustakis calling from the small blind, and Timothy Chung defending his big blind.
The flop fell 5♠Q♦10♥ and all three players checked to see the 7♦ hit the turn. Mavromoustakis led out for 8,500,000, which Chung called. Thaller raised to 24,500,000, and then Mavromoustakis shoved with a stack that covered by opponents. Chung folded, but Thaller called for his last 68,000,000.
Daniel Thaller: 7♥7♣ 
Andreas Mavromoustakis: Q♠10♣.
It was a horrible cooler as Mavromoustakis' top two pair was behind Thaller's set of sevens. Only a queen on the river could send this tournament into heads-up. The river was the 6♦, and Thaller became the overwhelming chip leader, while Mavromoustakis was left with crumbs.
