Patrick Lavecchia Takes the Chip Lead
Level 15
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Following a raise under the gun to 12,000 and two calls from the next two players to act, Patrick Lavecchia called from the big blind.
The 
flop was checked through before Lavecchia led out for 35,000 when the turn brought the 
. Only one opponent called, and the action was heads-up to the 
river. Lavecchia cut out a bet of 42,000, and his opponent instantly folded.
With that pot, Lavecchia's stack moves to 1,420,000 — good enough for the current chip lead.
