Vitch Pulls Even

Zachary Zaret opened with a 320,000-chip raise from the big blind. Christopher Vitch made the call in the big blind.

The flop came 3♠8♠3♦. Vitch bet 400,000 Zaret called.

The turn A♣ drew little interest as both players checked. That changed one the river when the A♥ rolled off.

After Vitch checked, Zaret slid 1,200,000 into the pot. Vitch gave it some thought before check-raising to 5,200,000 chips.

Zaret folded. After the hand the two were virtually even in chips atop the leaderboard, with five players remaining.
