2016 Seneca Fall Classic Main Event ninth-place finisher Brian Bowen has suddenly vaulted into the chip lead after a massive hand with Sharman Olshan.

After trading raises, the two went heads-up to a {j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop. Olshan led for 8,000 and Bowen jammed in close to 40,000. Olshan called it off with the {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}, but needed held versus Bowen's flopped set of jacks.

The turn and river brought no diamonds or kings and Olshan was left with crumbs as Bowen took the chip lead.
