Neugebauer Rockets Up the Counts Late on Day 3
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Max Neugebauer may have just taken the chip lead late on Day 3!
In a pot that had around 90,000 in it on a 7♥9♥Q♥ flop, Bin Weng checked from under the gun and Neugebauer bet 25,000 from middle position. Weng called.
A 9♦ hit the turn and again Went went into check-call mode after Neugebauer fired out 90,000.
When the J♥ put four hearts on the board, Weng checked for a third time. Neugebauer didn't slow down, though, as he put out a bet of 200,000 on the river. Weng went into the tank for some time and counted out his stack to see he had around 650,000 behind. Eventually, he called.
Neugebauer then flipped A♥A♣ for the nut flush, and Weng launched his cards into the muck.
