It's been a long time coming, but Scott Stanko is once again the chip leader.
The pot began with him limping first-in from the small blind. Charles Moore checked his big for a free flop, and the dealer spread out 
. Check-check.
The turn came the 
, and it brought the action. Stanko led out with 80,000, but Moore announced a raise. He put out the call first, then added another 300,000 to it. His opponent was undeterred. Stanko reraised to 880,000 straight, and that put the decision back on Moore. He asked Stanko how much he had behind (1.02 million), tanked for a couple minutes, said, "Interesting," then folded.
Stanko is close to 3 million himself now, while Moore has tumbled back toward the two-million-chip mark.
