Santos Vaults into the Lead
Level 19
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Towards the very end of the previous level, Jay Santos called a raise of Matas Cimbolas and so did Abdel Omais from one seat over. On the 
flop, Santos bet 17,500 and quickly called the raise to 43,500 by Omais before the 
fell on the turn. Santos quickly check-called a bet of 76,000 and then shoved the 
river for 170,500.
Omais spent a long time in the think tank and eventually called off with 
for a pair of jacks. Santos turned over 
and high-fived with his rail. The Portuguese is the new chip leader.
