Pinnola Takes Commanding Chip Lead
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Max Pinnola raised to 200,000 on the button, and Sarah Wasch in the big blind called.
The flop came K♠2♣10♥ and Wasch checked to Pinnola who bet 175,000. Wasch then raised to 500,000, before Pinnola three-bet to 1,500,000. Wasch then four-bet to put Pinnola all in for 4,180,000. Pinnola snapped called to put himself at risk.
Max Pinnola: A♠A♣ 
Sarah Wasch: K♦6♣
Wasch ran into the pocket aces of Pinnola and would need to improve to eliminate Pinnola. But after the 10♠ on the turn, and 4♣ on the river, the pocket aces were still best, to give Pinnola a dominate chip lead with three players remaining.
