Lehto Takes the Lead
Level 31
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Egidijus Matonis raised to 600,000 under the gun. It folded all the way to big blind Kai Lehto, who defended, and the 3♣10♦K♥ was checked through.
Lehto then led out for 550,000 on the 6♣ turn, and Matonis called. Lehto sized up significantly to 1,900,000 on the 9♠ river, which Matonis looked up.
Lehto revealed K♠9♦ for two pair, comfortably besting Matonis' J♥10♥ to drag the big pot and become the new chipleader.
