The Chip Lead Changes Hands Again
Level 21
: 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
One thing is for sure, neither of these guys are afraid to play big pots. We just had another one play out that saw the chip lead go from Elvin Sarkarov to Rushad Iskandarov.
Iskandarov opened to 65,000 and Sarkarov three-bet to 145,000. Iskandarov wasn't done yet and made it 450,000. Sarkarov called, and with 1 million in the pot before any cards were on the board, they went to the flop.
It came 
and Sarkarov check-raised Iskandarov's 450,000 continuation to the tune of his all in. Iskandarov made an instant call and before the cards went over, Sarkarov knew he was in behind.
Rushad Iskandarov: 
Elvin Sarkarov: 
The 
turn ad 
river held for Iskandarov and he now has a 3:1 chip advantage.
