Ahmed Takes the Chip Lead
Level 20
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Omaha-8
Owais Ahmed has been absolutely on fire all day, and that hasn't slowed down in this level. We caught the tail end of him scooping a monster pot through Mike Gorodinsky to push him over 500,000. The board had been dealt out 
, and when we arrived, we saw Gorodinsky tanking over a river bet by Ahmed. There was a sea of chips in the middle, and after a good time of thought, Gorodinsky reluctantly called.
Ahmed tabled 
for two pair and the nut low, and Gorodinsky shook his head before mucking his hand. After that pot, Gorodinsky is down to 470,000, while Ahmed is our leader with 520,000.
