Chai Gets Lucky Against Mills

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Kasey Mills raised 29,000 from late position and in the big blind, Paul Chai called.

The flop came out 10?8?5? and Chai checked over to Mills who bet 34,000. Chai responded by raising to 150,000 which saw Mills move all in for 301,000 which Chai snap called.

Kasey Mills: K?10?
Paul Chai: 10?7?

Mills held top pair with a king kicker, to best Chai's seven kicker to go with his pair. The turn 7? paired up Chai's kicker to make tens up and the river Q? didn't change anything for Mills.

She wished the table luck as she exited the tournament and Chai took down a pot to push himself into the chip lead.
