Lang's Lead Lengthens

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Michael Lang
Michael Lang

We picked up action with Michael Lang calling the all in bet of a player at risk on the button, with three cards {j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{10-Spades} displayed across the felt. Lang had his challenger covered by a strong margin, and the cards we flipped for all to see.

Button: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Michael Lang: {8-Spades}{9-Spades}

The button pushed with top pair and best kicker, but Lang was open-ended for the straight.

It was a shock to the button, when the {7-Diamonds} fell on the turn, giving Lang the best possible hand. After the {3-Hearts} came on the river it was official that Lang became your current chip leader, and another player was eliminated after the bubble burst.
