Huge Double Propels Hussein to Chip Leadership

A big river countdown of Haji Hussein's stack attracted attention to a hand that had already concluded but has completely changed the top of the counts. With over 100,000 already in the pot on the turn (the board reading , Andrew Hayton and Hussein had played for stacks (110,000 more, with the former covering the latter). Hayton, who'd flopped a set of sevens, had gone behind on the turn when Hussein made a club flush. The board remained unpaired with the river, and we have a new chip leader at the eleventh hour of Day 1d.
