Sudell Takes the Chip Lead
In Level 34 with blinds of 50,000/100,000 and an ante of 12,500, preflop action saw 950,000 go into the middle in a blind-on-blind battle between Derek "pompii" Sudell in the small blind and "KevinDurant" in the big blind.
The flop was 
and Sudell check-called a bet of 250,000 from "KevinDurant". Sudell then check-called another bet of 1.08 million on the turn 
, bringing the river 
where action went check-check to take the hand to showdown.
Sudell showed 
for second pair and "KevinDurant" was unable to top it. With the pot, Sudell now finds himself with the chip lead among the four that still remain.
