Hortin Takes Chip Lead Back From Gerber

Dylan Hortin opened to 48,000 under the gun and Samuel Gerber three-bet to what looked to be about 120,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Hortin who four-bet to 325,000. A call from Gerber landed a {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop.

Hortin fired 415,000, enough to get Gerber to lay it down.
