Harpreet Gill is back in the lead after putting on lots of pressure. With action at the flop and the cards reading , his one opponent bet 5,100 into the pot of about 18,000 already in the middle. Gill raised big to 28,000.

"I think I have you," he said. But as the clock came close to zero, he threw his cards in the muck.
