Zoller Takes the Lead With "Really Long Straight"

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 50,000 ante

Nate Zoller took the chip lead the lead, getting as high as 5.3 million at one point. However, both he and Steve Wilkie have been battling back and forth. Wilkie had regained the lead and then checked his option after Nate Zoller completed the small blind.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts} and both players checked. Wilkie threw out a bet of 200,000 on the turn {6-Hearts}. Zoller called and the river fell {9-Diamonds}. Wilkie checked. Zoller bet 100,000 and Wilkie couldn't help but look him up.

Zoller tabled {7-Spades}{5-Clubs}, saying he had a "really long straight."

Wilkie mucked and prepared for the next round of battle.
