Dang Takes Charge

A player raised to 3,600 from under the gun, and Barbara Rega called from one seat over. J.J. Liu called as well from the cutoff seat, as did Yen Dang in the big blind.

The four players saw a flop come {4-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. Dang checked, Rega bet 8,000, and all three of Rega's opponents called. The turn was the {10-Hearts}. This time it checked to Rega who pushed her last 7,700 forward, and Liu called behind her. That's when Dang reraised to 27,700, getting a call from the original raiser and a fold from Liu.

The river brought the {Q-Diamonds}, and when Dang checked her lone remaining opponent pushed all in, and Dang called with the 33,200 she had left. Dang turned over {J-Spades}{10-Clubs} for two pair, which was better than her opponent's {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} as well as Rega's {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}.

Rega is out, and with that huge pot Dang becomes our new chip leader, soaring to 186,000.
