Joyce Takes Over as Chip Leader
Level 35
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Philip Joyce made it 900,000 to go on the button and Arian Kashani called.
They went to a flop of 5♥A♦Q♠ where Kashani check-called a bet of 550,000 from Joyce to see the 9♦ drop on the turn. Kashani checked again, Joyce bet 1,800,000, and Kashani called.
A 7♣ fell on the river where both players checked it down. Kashani showed Q♥8♣ for a pair of queens, but Joyce had the winner after he paired his ace with A♠3♦.
