Di Nicola Has Too Many Chips

Level 5 : Blinds 700/1,500, 1,500 ante

Ermanno Di Nicola raised to 4,000 under the gun, Joe Mouawad three-bet to 14,500 in early position, and Di Nicola called.

The flop came 108Q and Mouawad continued for 7,000. Di Nicola then raised to 25,000 and Mouawad called.

The Q fell on the turn and Di Nicola bet 43,500. Mouawad spent nearly two minutes in the tank before folding as Di Nicola took the pot.

"You have too many chips," tablemate Jun Lai said as Di Nicola climbed past 400,000 and in contention for the chip lead.
