Chew on This

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Andrew "LuckyChewy" Lichtenberger

We missed the initial preflop action (we think), but here's what we know. When our attention turned to the table in question, Andrew Lichtenberger had 68,000 chips in front of him, and Caio Pimenta had 150,000 chips out in front of his betting area. Action was on Lichtenberger, and he took a good long soak in the tank before announcing an all in for 491,000 total. The look on Pimenta's face was hard to put into words; his mouth was wide open and his eyes even wider, and he asked for the count while he paced around behind his chair deliberating. The call would cost him about 85% of his own stack, and it would put a pot of nearly a million chips up for grabs.

After a couple minutes of tank time, Pimenta reluctantly uncapped his cards and mucked them.

Don't look now, but "LuckyChewy" is on a tear. After dragging that pot preflop, Lichtenberger is all the way up to 652,000 now. There's your chip leader, boys and girls.
