Maue Soars to Chip Lead
Level 6
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Hannes Jeschka opened to 6,500 from the button and Leonard Maue called from the small blind. Vinny Lingham made it 20,000 from the big blind and was called by both players.
Lingham bet 40,000 on the 9♠9♣4♦ flop and only Maue called. With 143,000 in the pot, the K♠ turn checked through to the 8♣ river.
Maue, the bigger stack, jammed and Vingham called off his 235,000 stack.
Maue had K♥9♥ for a full house, eliminating Lingham, who had Q♦Q♠.
