Pora Takes Lead

Lyle Bateman

Level 5 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 250 ante

Dumitru "pora adrian" Pora just took the chip lead with almost 700k after a huge pot where their kings held against ace-king. The money went in preflop after "aminolast" raised early, then shoved for more than 150k when Dumitru "pora adrian" Pora three-bet the cutoff to 15k and "DrawinDead" four-bet to 42k from the small blind.

Only Pora called with the kings, and hit a king on the flop for the win. Meanwhile, Dinesh "NastyMinder" Alt also busted on another table.
