{5-Clubs}

{5-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

. Soderlund's opponent led out for 6,000, a bet that Soderlund raised to 17,000. His opponent asked him for a count (about 24,000 behind), then shoved all in for a total of 48,000. Soderlund snap-called and was shown a stone bluff, {K-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

to take down a 92,000-chip pot and take over the chip lead.
