Barsegian Plays Back at the Chip Leader
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Eduard Barsegian raised to 250,000 from the button and chip leader Maxime Chilaud defended his big blind.
The flop came 
and Chilaud checked to Barsegian, who continued for 275,000. Chilaud called to the 
turn and both players checked.
Chilaud led out for 450,000 on the 
river and Barsegian used a time bank before he raised to 1,100,000. Chilaud tanked for a moment before he flicked in a chip to call.
Barsegian turned over 
for a straight as he took a healthy chunk off Chilaud's stack to begin the day.
