Jose Severino = Chip Leader

On the flop of {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} Matt Widdoes fired out a bet of 7,000 and Jose Severino made the call. The turn was the {10-Spades} and Widdoes bet again for 23,000 before Severino moved all in. Widdoes made a crying call and showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for overcards and a straight draw, but Severino held some of his outs with {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}.

The river was a repeat {10-Hearts} and Widdoes was left with small change as Severino captured the huge pot to jump to the tournament chip lead with about 360,000 in chips.
