Brito Takes the Lead
Level 45
: 600,000/1,200,000, 150,000 ante
Pablo "pabritz" Brito took chips off Alex "dynoalot" Difelice in two showdown hands to jump into the lead while the Canadian dropped to a short stack.
First up, Difelice min-raised and Brito called. They checked to the 
river on which Brito bet 4,387,500 into 5.85 million and was called. Brito rolled over 
for trips nines and won the pot.
A similar hand played out when Brito this time check-called 1.8 million on the 
flop exactly one orbit later and they checked the 
turn and 
river. Brito tabled 
and that was the winning hand. The Brazilian also three-bet a raise by "Alexgirs" to earn the pot right after.
