Magalashvili Takes Over the Lead
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Danny Covyn opened to 2,500 from middle position and Michael Magalashvili called on his direct left along with two other players. The flop came 
and the action checked to Magalashvili who bet 3,700. Covyn was the only player to call and the 
landed on the turn.
Covyn check-called another bet of 7,300 from Magalashvili and the 
double-paired the board on the river. Covyn checked one more time and Magalashvili leaned back in his seat before unloading a bet of 16,500. Covyn gave it some thought but decided to pay him off in the end, as Magalashvili turned over 
for a full house.
