The turn came {7-Spades} and Forlenza bet 336,000. "RobertJordan" called and the river fell {5-Spades}. Forlenza checked and "RobertJordan" thought for a few moments before checking behind to take the hand to showdown.

Forlenza showed {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, with nothing more than an ace kicker to the board's pair of sevens but it proved to be good as "RobertJordan" mucked to give Forlenza the pot.

His win comes on the heels of a few earlier pots, and he has now taken a comfortable chip lead with six still remaining in the tournament.
