Sowers is the New Chip Leader

Mike Sowers is the new chip leader after winning a massive pot from Chris Karagulleyan. The two raised it up preflop, driving out all other players, to take a flop of {A-Hearts}

. Karagulleyan was first to act and led out for 120,000. Sowers called.

Both players checked the {Q-Diamonds}

turn. When the river fell {7-Diamonds}

, Karagulleyan confidently pushed out 290,000 chips.

"You hit that seven, huh?" said Sowers. "I call. I call." He flipped open {A-Diamonds}

for two pair, aces and sevens. Karagulleyan's cards hit the muck.

Largely thanks to that pot, Sowers is now the chip leader with 1.7 million chips. Karagulleyan is back under a million, to about 750,000.
