Emmel Takes Lead

As expected, the chips are going back and forth the whole time but Matthew Emmel has just taken a bigger lead.

He raised to 500 on the button and Qi Hu called.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}, Hu check-called the 400 bet of Emmel.

They both checked through the {j-Spades} on the turn to the {j-Spades} on the river. Hu bet 600 and Emmel quickly called. Hu tabled {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} to play the board but Emmel held {j-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for the full house.
