Flank Takes the Lead
Level 33
: 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Timothy Flank raised under the gun to 800,000 and it folded to Darren Elias, who called in the big blind.
The flop showed 
and Elias checked. Flank decided to bet 700,000 and Elias tanked for some time before calling.
On the 
turn, Elias checked again and this time Flank fired 2,300,000, putting Elias into a decision. Elias eventually let it go and Flank took down the pot and the chip leader seat.
