Karlsson Takes the Lead
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Mike Leah limped from the button, so Long Tran limped as well and Alfred Karlsson only had to check his option to discover a flop of 10♦3♥6♠ where Tran led for 300,000. Karlsson called, but Leah folded at this point.
Both players checked the Q♦ turn, and Tran checked again on the A♥ river. Karlsson eventually checked back, revealing K♣10♥6♣5♥ for two pair.
Tran didn't have a better hand, so Karlsson won the pot and is now the new chip leader.
