Sgroi Leads Into The Break

Maria Parlatore flopped trips and turned it full, but her name is not at the top of the chip counts heading into the break. In fact, it isn't even on the list anymore.

That chip lead would belong to Rochester, NY's Tyler Orsini, who would not be pushed off this hand on third or fourth street, and eventually made a Royal Flush on fifth.

He got his stack in and almost a full double up out of it when Parlatore couldn't fold her monster. But he isn't the leader either.

Parlatore somehow got it back to 24,000 and when she lost all but 375 of that in a three way all-in pot with a straight and a flush draw against Youngstown, NY's Anthony Sgroi's bigger straight and a third player with a pair and a draw, Sgroi appeared to be the leader.

Parlatore cracked Orsini's aces with the making two pair a hand later, and it was clear Sgroi was in the lead.
