Laieta Wins Massive Pot, Takes Chip Lead
Level 32
: 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Christopher Laieta opened to 500,000 from the cutoff, Dan Sweeney three-bet to 1,700,000 from the small blind, Laieta four-bet to 4,500,000, and Sweeney made the call.
Sweeney checked the 
flop, and Laieta checked back.
Sweeney bet 3,550,000 on the 
turn, and Laieta made the call.
Sweeney checked the 
river, and Laieta went all in, committing his last 8,600,000 to the pot. Sweeney, with 12,000,000 left, went deep into the tank, eventually electing to fold.
Laieta showed the 
as he collected the 16-million chip pot, which now puts him in the chip lead.
