Suri Strengthens Lead
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
There was a raise to 1,100 from a player in the hi-jack with current frontrunner Bobbie Suri making the call from the button and Malaysia’s Victor Chong making the call from the big blind to take the action three-way to a flop of 
.
The original raiser already looked uncomfortable the moment Suri put his chips into the pot and after Chong checked the flop so did he, opening the door for Suri to take a stab for 1,600.
Chong tanked in the big blind for a minute or so but decided to play it safe and fold, as did the original raiser. It seems no one wants to tangle with the top dog and Suri scooped the pot unopposed to climb to close to 130,000 in chips.
