Jiang Knocks Out Maslak Blind on Blind to Ascend to the Chip Lead
Level 17
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Action folded to the small blind Konstantin Maslak, who limped in. Then Sosia Jiang in the big blind raised to 325,000, before Maslak three-bet all in for his stack of 2,700,000, which Jiang called.
Konstantin Maslak: 5♦5♣ 
Sosia Jiang: 6♦6♣
Maslak found himself out piped by the bigger pocket pair of Jiang, and once the board ran out 8♣K♥3♥9♣Q♦ Jiang's pocket sixes were still best, eliminating Maslak.
With that pot, Jiang now sits atop of the leaderboard.
