Ron Pease Soars Into Chip Lead with Heroic Call

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Ron Pease was heads up with his opponent on the river with the board reading {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. There was around 15,000 in the pot already and Pease bet 12,500. His opponent moved all in for 51,400 and Pease went into the tank. After thinking for a couple of minutes, clearly unsure of what to do by scratching his head, Pease made the call and his opponent tabled {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. Pease showed {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for a straight and took down a huge pot.

Pease now sits at the top of the leaderboard just slightly behind Mike Leah.
