Chambers Takes the Chip Lead
Level 27
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 0 ante
Omaha Hi-Lo
Ryutaro Suzuki has held the chip lead for virtually the entire final table, but he has recently ceded that lead to Walter Chambers.
In a battle in the blinds, Chambers raised the small blind and Suzuki called in the big blind.
On the 9?8?10? flop, Chambers bet and Suzuki called, then on the K? turn Suzuki called another bet from Chambers.
This set up the 3? river, and once more, Chambers bet. Suzuki gave it some thought before he spiked in a call.
Chambers announced a jack-high straight, showing A?J?9?7?, which prompted Suzuki to send his losing cards to the muck.
