Fatehi is the Early Chip Leader
Level 3
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Viacheslav Buldygin in the hijack raised it up to 3,800 and his neighbor Ali Reza Fatehi three-bet to 9,000. Sam Greenwood flat called from the big blind and Buldygin called as well to make it three-handed.
Greenwood and Buldygin checked on 
. Fatehi bet 12,200 and Greenwood called. Buldygin check-raised to 31,000 and now Fatehi called, Greenwood folded.
With the 
hitting the turn, Buldygin bet 18,000. Fatehi shoved all in just about instantly and Buldygin mucked just as fast.
"Aces!" Buldygin said to Fatehi.
Fatehi just gave him a thumbs up and started stacking.
