Santos Vaults into the Lead
Level 19
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Towards the very end of the previous level, Jay Santos called a raise of Matas Cimbolas and so did Abdel Omais from one seat over. On the 
?
?
flop, Santos bet 17,500 and quickly called the raise to 43,500 by Omais before the 
fell on the turn. Santos quickly check-called a bet of 76,000 and then shoved the 
river for 170,500.
Omais spent a long time in the think tank and eventually called off with 
?
for a pair of jacks. Santos turned over 
?
and high-fived with his rail. The Portuguese is the new chip leader.
