Hui Regains the Lead
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Phil Hui limped on the button, and Veerachai Vongxaiburana checked his big blind option.
Both players opted to check the 2♥J♥Q♠ flop before Vongxaiburana led out for 400,000 on the 10♣ turn.
Hui called to see the 5♠ river, where Vongxaiburana checked. Hui fired a bet of 300,000, only to be check-raised to 1,300,000 by Vongxaiburana.
Hui made the quick call.
"Good call," Vongxaiburana said as Hui tabled A♥Q♦9♣9♦6♦ for top pair. That was enough to take over the chip lead as Vongxaiburana mucked.
