Shahar Scoops Huge Two Million Pot to Take Tournament Chip Lead
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
PokerNews arrived just as the hand was wrapping up, while Ran Shahar was scooping in a huge 2,000,000 pot propelling him into the chip lead of the tournament.
Shahar recounted that Massimo Chierchia had moved all in on the river for roughly 790,000 with 8x4x on 3x3x4x8xQx but ran into the 4x4x of Sahar for a flopped full house.
Chierchia was left with fumes.
