Chin Doubles; Saltus Gets Huge

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Yashuo Chin more than doubled her stack early on and just scored a full double through Jason Casale when turning the nut straight on a board of {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{7-Spades}. Casale's cards were already in the muck while he paid off the stack of Chin, her {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} tabled right in front of the chips.

Brian Saltus has taken over the lead in the Amazon Tan section. Saltus tangled with Christopher Chaudey in a three-bet pot, in which Chaudey check-raised the {A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop. Running hearts created a big pot and Saltus was not willing to fold {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, taking a big chunk out of Chaudey's stack. The Frenchman was left with his head shaking and soon after headed off into the first break of the day.
