{7-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

on fifth street to Tony G's x-x / {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{J-Spades}

. There had been a flurry of betting on fourth street, with each player putting in three bets and folding two other players that had seen fourth street. This time around, they both checked.

On sixth street, Tony G caught the {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

while Hunt caught the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

. With the better board, Hunt bet. Tony G called.

Both players checked the river. As Tony G peeked at his card, he said "Ahh, you win." Hunt opened {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

in the hole, for a heart flush and an 8-7 low. Tony G flashed {5-Clubs}

Hunt now has 99,000 chips and is the far and away chip leader.
