"We Have a New Chip Leader!"

...yelled Joe Cada's rail.

A monster pot in the last three hands of the evening has propelled Cada to the top of the counts.

From the small blind, Manig Loeser raised 30,000 and Joe Cada re-popped it to 77,000 from the big blind. Loeser four-bet to 177,000, but Cada had other ideas. He five-bet jammed with the bigger stack.

Loeser called all in immediately for about 750,000 with {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and held a big lead on Cada's {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}. However, the board rolled out {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} as Cada spiked the ace on the flop to not only eliminate Loeser, but take the chip lead in the process.
