Ha Fights Back
Level 19
: Blinds 0/0, 12,000 ante
Thai Ha limped in and David Prociak checked his option on the button.
Ha took the lead for 60,000 on a board of 8♠7♥9♦. Prociak called.
The K♦ seemingly slowed down Ha. Prociak bet out for 180,000 and Ha check-raised to 580,000. Prociak elected to see a river.
The 9♥ fell and Ha sized up with a bet of 1,700,000, sending Prociak into the tank.
Prociak eventually flicked in the call and Ha tabled J♠10♥ for a flopped straight. Ha took the chip lead for the first time in this heads-up battle.
