Nicholls Takes the Chip Lead ... Briefly

Roland Hawkins raised to 50,000 from the button and Alan Nicholls called to see a flop that read {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades}.

Nicholls check-called Hawkins' bet of 50,000 before both players checked the turn of the {3-Clubs}.

On the river {9-Spades}, Nicholls checked, only to call after Hawkins open-shoved and the cards were tabled:

Nicholls: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Hawkins: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Nicholls took the pot down and took the chip lead, but then lost it two hands later.

Nicholls called Hawkins' all-in bet before the flop with {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, only to find himself behind Hawkins' {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}.

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{k-Hearts}, and Nicholls is down to 509,000 while Hawkins is on 741,000.
