A New Leader Emerges

Omaha

We pick up the action on a heads-up flop reading {7-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}. Bjorn Verbakel is first, checking the action over to his opponent, Amnon Filippi. Filippi put out 10,000 chips, drawing a check-raise to 30,000 from Verbakel. Without too much delay, Filippi raised to 96,800.

The move sent Verbakel deep into the tank. "Will you show if I fold?" he asked.

Fillipi halfway appeased him: "I won't show all four cards, no." After another minute or two of careful consideration, Verbakel sent his cards back to the dealer face-down. Filippi told him to pick two cards, and Verbakel turned over the {A-Diamonds} and {A-Clubs} from his opponent's hand.

After that exchange, Verbakel has slipped back to 106,000, while Filippi may have taken the overall chip lead with 210,000.
