The Race for the Chip Lead on Day 1b
Level 9
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Several players are hovering just below or above five times the starting stack and Franco Da Matta was spotted with a massive stack. He mentioned a big three-way all-in in which he three-bet jammed with pocket jacks. Sachin Naidoo called with ace-king and the third player in the hand came along with ace-queen.
The flop brought three diamonds with Da Matta holding the only diamond. Two blanks followed and the pot went to him.
However, he is not the chip leader as Michele Lodi-Fe has even more.
