Hanner Takes Chip Lead With Biggest Pot of the Tournament
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Stacks got all in preflop between Jon Hanner in the big blind and Ian Matakis, who was in the hijack. Hanner was at risk for his tournament life.
Jon Hanner: 
Ian Matakis: 
Matakis's jacks were way behind Hanner's queens as the flop fell 
, bringing his total number of outs from two down to one due to the fact that a diamond would give Hanner a flush. The turn 
and river 
were clean for Hanner and he secured the double. He pushed his chips forward and they were totaled to be 103,000.
After paying off the chips, Matakis now has 132,000; meanwhile, Hanner has taken the chip lead as the only player with over 200,000 in chips in front of him.
