Cada Wins a Flip to Double and Take the Lead

Joe Cada raised to 250,000 on the button only to find Carter Phillips three-bet to 600,000. Cada replied by four-betting all in and Phillips quickly announced a call.

Phillips: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Cada: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

Cada was ahead with his pair and stayed that way on the {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{k-Clubs} flop. Phillips needed to pair to end the match here, but could not do it as the turn brought the {8-Clubs} and the river the {9-Diamonds}.

The cries of joy from Cada's rail once again filled the Pavilion. Cada has now reclaimed the chip lead.
