Stroke Rivers Berisha for the Chip Lead
Level 24
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Shawn Stroke has the chip lead going into the break and he just detailed his hand that put him at the top of the counts.
Stroke opened to 60,000 from middle position and was called by Viacheslav Svyshchov and start-of-day chip leader Xhavit Berisha from the blinds.
On the 9♠7x6♠ flop, action checked through to the K♥ turn. Action checked to Stroke, who bet 60,000. Svyshchov called before Berisha made it 300,000. Only Stroke called.
On the Jx river, Berisha then moved all in as the big stack and Stroke, with around 550,000 behind, snap-called for his tournament life.
Berisha had a set with 9x9x, but Stroke had the Q♠10♠ for the queen-high straight.
