Chan Wins Monster Pot; Assumes Tournament Chip Lead

Team PokerStars Player Terrence Chan just took down a very large pot and along with it, the tournament chip lead.

On a flop of {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, first action was passed to Chan who opened with a 3,200 bet. His opponent then kicked it up to 10,000 and Terrence made the call. The turn brought the {9-Spades} prompting both players to knuckle the table and see a free river.

The last card off the deck was the {A-Spades} and Chan's opponent fired a 12,000 bullet. Chan then raised, making it 28,000 to go. When his opponent announced his decision to call, Chan said "Good call" and hesitated before turning over the {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a pair of tens. Much to the relief of Chan, his opponent mucked.

After the hand, Chan stacked up 118,000 in chips; currently the largest stack in the field.
