Christ Extends Chip Lead
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Matthew Beinner opened from under the gun to 450,000 and found a call from Michael Christ on his immediate left.
Beinner continued on the 7♠10♠A♥ flop with a bet of 850,000, with Christ calling to see the K♠ turn. Beinner fired again, this time for 2,000,000 and Christ counted out the call.
The dealer turned over the 4♦ river, where Beinner checked. Christ bet 1,500,000, sending Beinner into the tank.
After taking a few minutes, Beinner opted to fold and got a look at Christ's cards before they hit the muck.
Christ flashed a jack-high flush, along with a three-deuce low as he added another pile of chips to his tournament lead.
