Suraj Dutt Takes the Chip Lead After Massive Three-Way All In
Whenever four players are standing around a table this late in a tournament, one of them is sure to emerge with a massive stack.
Sure enough, Suraj Dutt just took over the chip lead late in Day 1B, after taking out two opponents and putting a big dent in a third.
The action was caught on the river, with the board reading and a crowd developing around the table to watch the action. One player was already all in for a relatively short stack, another called that bet, and Dutt had moved all in over the top for a large amount. The action was back on a fourth player, and he agonized over the decision for his tournament life.
"Queens full?," he asked, fishing for information before sudenly sliding his stack forward. The player who had called the short stack's all in folded his face up, after committing a sizable portion of his own stack, and it was time to table the cards.
Showdown:
Dutt:
Short Stack All In:
Tank Caller:
Dutt's pocket rockets prevailed over the cowboys and the naked ace, giving him what had to be the largest pot of the evening, and the overwhelming chip lead heading into the bag-and-tag phase.
