Stern Takes Chip Lead

We're finding it difficult to take our eyes away from Table 51. Especially after Dani "supernova9" Stern took the overall chip lead with over 1 million chips at the end of the previous level.

Stern, who's joined at the table by Eugene Katchalov, David "Gunslinger3" Bach and Luke "lb6121" Schwartz, opened with a raise to 14,000 from under the gun and "tonkaaaa" three-bet to 29,997. Action folded back to Stern who called to see a flop of {Q-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {2-Spades} . Stern check-called a bet of 32,229 and the turn brought the {7-Hearts} . Stern check-called again, this time for 75,666, and the {K-Clubs} landed on the river. Again Stern checked and tonkaaaa fired 213,336. Stern made the call with {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} for a pair of queens and successfully picked off the bluff of the former chip leader, who had {9-Spades} {J-Diamonds}
