Rivest Pips Morkos to Take Chip Lead
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
[Removed:492] shoved from the button and Kevin Rivest, who had 1,955,000, made the call to put himself at risk.
Kevin Rivest: 7♦7♣ 
[Removed:492]: 6♦6♣
Rivest had the best of it with a bigger pocket pair and held on the A♣5♥8♦2♦4♠ runout to secure a massive double up through Morkos who was left with under twenty big blinds while Rivest took the chip lead.
