Conway Emerges as New Leader

Thomas Conway just took a nice pot from Mazin Khoury, our previous leader, to take the pole position here in Level 17.

Conway opened with a raise from middle position and, after Khoury three-bet from the button, Conway put in a four-bet. Khoury called and the two players went heads-up to a flop of {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Conway led out for 32,500 and Khoury called. Both players then checked the {10-Diamonds} turn and {Q-Clubs} river, and Conway tabled {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a turned pair of tens. Khoury looked shocked to see his opponent's cards and he tossed his hand into the muck. Conway has eclipsed the 400,000-chip mark, and Khoury has slipped below 200,000.
