Koh Takes Over the Chip Lead; Gao and Raghavan Sent to the Rail
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Michael Koh has shot up the chip counts in the last 30 minutes thanks in no small part to a fortunate river card.
We picked up the action on a 
flop when a raising war resulted in Koh and another player getting it all in the middle with the latter at risk. Koh held the 
for a flush and gutshot straight draw, which he needed to hit to overcome the 
of his opponent. The 
turn didn't do it, but the 
river did. Koh raked in the juicy pot and is currently sitting with right around 150,000.
Meanwhile, one-time chip leader Leon Gao has been eliminated from the tournament, as has World Poker Tour Five Diamond champ Ravi Raghavan.
