Daly Catapults to Chip Lead
Dario Dussan Guzman opened in early position to 250,000 but met resistance in the form of a three-bet by Zach Daly, raising to 725,000. Action folded back to Guzman, who four-bet to 1,700,000. Daly then took a moment before moving all in for 5,050,000. Guzman, who had a slightly bigger stack, called, making this a monstrous pot which would decide who the new chip leader of the tournament is.
Zach Daly: A♠A♣
Dario Dussan Guzman: K♥K♦
Daly was on the right side of a cooler involving two of the tournament chip leaders, but the drama had only just begun when the dealer fanned out the Q♦K♣J♦ flop.
Guzman had taken the lead, having flopped top set, but the turn 10♣ flipped things back in the favour of Daly, who now had a straight.
The river ended the drama, coming the 8♠.
Guzmas slid a mountain of chips across the table to Daly as the dealer readied the deck for the next hand.
