Franco Takes the Lead; Gomez Survives
Action folded around to Juan Sebastian Gomez on the button and he moved all in for 320,000. Christopher Franco called from the small blind, and Amos Ben raised to 825,000 from the big blind. Franco quickly moved all in, and Ben tank-folded.
Franco: 
Gomez: 
Franco was well ahead with ace-king, and Gomez needed to hit his kicker to survive.
The flop came 
, keeping Franco in the lead with ace-king high. The turn was the 
and Franco rapped the table after he made the nut straight. Gomez began to stand up from his seat and shook Franco's hand, clearly accepting defeat. The rail yelled, "King!" and sure enough, the 
hit the felt on the river, giving Gomez a chop.
Franco took down a side pot from Ben's re-raise, and chopped the main pot with Gomez.
Franco has now crossed three million in chips, and Ben has relinquished the chip lead for the first time in about a day and a half of play.
