Daniliuk Takes the Lead
Level 33
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Andrei Daniliuk opened to 800,000 from the button with J?9? and Ivan Govorov defended from the big blind with A?Q?.
The Q?5?4? flop gave Govorov top pair and Daniliuk a flush draw. Both players checked leading to the 9? turn, giving Daniliuk second pair. Govorov bet 400,000 and Daniliuk made the call.
Daniliuk spiked the 9? river, hitting trips to pull ahead of Govorov, who bet 1,500,000. Daniliuk quickly called to take down a sizable pot, claiming the chip lead in the process.
