Massive Lead For Lichtenberger

Andrew Lichtenberger has a massive chip lead over Douglas Polk and he seems to be just a couple of hands away from making the final 16. On a {4-Spades} {7-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} board we caught the action when Lichtenberger check-called a 27,600 bet. The river was the {5-Hearts} and Polk bet 76,600. Lichtenberger moved all in and after tanking for quite some time Polk called. Lichtenberger showed {a-Hearts} {4-Hearts} for the flush and he doubled up.

Polk was left very short after this hand and got it all in with {7-Diamonds} {9-Spades} against Lichtenberger's {J-Hearts} {5-Hearts} . The board ran out {9-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} giving Polk quads and a double up. The very next hand he doubled up again when Lichtenberger raised to 22,000 and Polk put his 24,600 at risk. Lichtenberger called and showed {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} against {J-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} . The board ran out {J-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {J-Spades} giving Polk another double up.
