New Chip Leader

Richard Alm has become the overall chip leader after raking in a monster pot. Alm and his opponent got all their chips in the pot preflop and when the hands were shown Alm's {10-Spades} {10-Hearts} were behind his opponent's {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}.

Alm jumped from big underdog to favorite when the flop came {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {2-Spades} and Alm had a set. The turn brought the {A-Hearts} and the river the {8-Diamonds} and Alm stacked the monster pot, bringing his total to 320,000.
