Small Takes Chiplead

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Van Vo opened to 5,500 from the hijack. Sean Small reraised to 9,000 from the big blind, and Vo made the call. Small checked the {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop, Vo bet 9,000, and Small called. The turn put trips on the board with the {4-Spades}, and Small once again allowed Vo to take the lead. Vo obliged with an all-in bet, and Small insta-called, tabling {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. Vo was in awful shape with {k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, and needed the last four in the deck for a chop. It wasn't to be, and Small took a commanding chip lead in the tournament.

The players have now broken down to five tables and will soon be racing off black chips.
