Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

John Fluder just snatched the chip lead from Matt Heiligenthaler in a huge hand.

Fluder raised aces and Heiligenthaler defended with the {j-}{8-}. They got it in on a {j-}{8-}{2-} flop and it looked like Heiligenthaler was on his way another knockout and a massive lead.

The turn bricked, but the river was an ace and Fluder made a set to double up. The room exploded and when the dust settled, Fluder ended up on top of the leader board with Heiligenthaler still hot on his heels.
