Cunha Jr. Takes the Lead
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
With the board reading 
and about 40,000 in the pot, Joao Batista Cunha Jr. had raised all in from under the gun. Karl Schwing was in middle position with 21,000 committed post flop, and he tank called all in for about 90,000.
Cunha Jr.: 
Schwing: 
Cunha Jr. led with a seven-high straight and held up through the 
river to eliminate Schwing in 23rd place.
While that hand was going on, Joseph Montervino busted in 24th place at one of the other tables.
