Awwad Takes the Chip Lead
Level 32
: Blinds 300,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Ryan Awwad limped on the button before Henri Perez Lopez made it 1,200,000 in response. Ryan Awwad four-bet to 2,800,000 before Lopez five-bet all-in. Awwad snap-called to be at risk for 10,900,000.
Ryan Awwad: Q♣Q♠
Henri Perez Lopez: 10♣10♥
Awwad was in a strong position to take the chip lead with the higher pocket pair.
The flop gave him a set, but it came with a sweat when the dealer fanned out Q♦9♦8♣ to give Lopez four outs to a straight.
The 5♦ was of no consequence, and the A♥ sealed the deal in favor of Awwad who in one swoop took the chip lead against Lopez.
