Duong Wins Big Pot to Take Chip Lead
Level 18
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Gennady Shimelfarb moved all in first to act for 146,000 - a bet of nearly 25 big blinds. Andrius Bielskis asked for a count and made the call. Jackduyph Duong was in the small blind and he too made the call.
Bielskis and Duong would check it down all the way on the 
run out and Duong's 
would take the pot. Shimelfarb had 
and would be eliminated while Bielskis mucked his hand. That pot moved Duong to 670,000 in chips, which was good enough to take the chip lead at this point.
