Chambers Takes the Chip Lead
Level 27
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 0 ante
Omaha Hi-Lo
Ryutaro Suzuki has held the chip lead for virtually the entire final table, but he has recently ceded that lead to Walter Chambers.
In a battle in the blinds, Chambers raised the small blind and Suzuki called in the big blind.
On the 9♦8♥10♣ flop, Chambers bet and Suzuki called, then on the K♣ turn Suzuki called another bet from Chambers.
This set up the 3♦ river, and once more, Chambers bet. Suzuki gave it some thought before he spiked in a call.
Chambers announced a jack-high straight, showing A♦J♣9♣7♣, which prompted Suzuki to send his losing cards to the muck.
