Saechao Scoops a Huge Pot; Roars into the Lead

Action began with Chip Saechao, who opened for 4,200 from the button. Both the small and big blind called.

The flop brought {2-Spades}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and the small blind led out for 6,000 even. James Routos folded from the big and Saechao raised to 16,000. The small blind called.

The turn brought the {3-Spades} and the small blind decided to check. Saechao immediately went all in for a bit over 40,000, sending the small blind deep into the tank.

"Trust me, it's not coming," Saechao said with a smirk.

After a couple of minutes, the small blind announced, "Call" for the rest of his stack

Small blind: {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a flush draw and gutshot.
Saechao: {6-Clubs}{8-Spades} for second pair.

The river blanked out a {3-Diamonds} and Saechao scooped the enormous pot.

Saechao appears to be our current chip leader with 110,000.
