We pick up the action in a heads-up pot between Matt Stout and David Dao. On the turn, the board shows {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

. Dao checks to Stout, and he bets out 120,000, which Dao instantly calls.

Fifth street is the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

. Dao checks, and Stout elects to check behind him. Dao tables {K-?}

{K-?}

{Q-?}

, and once he sees the good news, Stout shows down his {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{4-Spades}

. It's the winner, and the pro collects another couple hundred thousand chips, increasing his lead.

"You can't river me every time, David!" jested Stout. It's easy to be chipper when you're sitting on more than half the chips in play.
