Bazeley Gets Lucky to Take Over Chip Lead
Action folded to Houston White in the cutoff and he brought it in for a raise to 35,000. Jacob Bazeley was next to act on the button and he three-bet to 110,000. The blinds got out of the way and White pushed back with a four-bet, making it 200,000 more to go. Bazeley pondered for a bit before announcing all in for about 650,000 more. White made the call, and at first, he was glad he did.
Showdown
| Bazeley |   |
| White |   |
White was primed to take down a monster pot, but the 
flop had other plans as it delivered Bazeley two pair. White stood from his chair in disbelief and watched helplessly as the 
fell on the turn followed by the 
river. Bazeley remained stoic as he raked in the nearly 2-million chip pot.
