Hoang Takes the Lead
Level 24
: 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Sonay Kehya raised from the small blind and Ngoc Minh Hoang called in the big blind. The flop came 
and Kehya continued for 3.6 million, which Hoang called.
After the 
turn, Kehya bet another 4.6 million and Hoang called before the 
river slowed down the Dutchman, as he checked. Hoang bet 6.1 million and Kehya gave it some thought before calling.
Hoang showed 
for trips fives and Kehya mucked 
. "Nice hand, you are a good player," Kehya said with a dry smile on the face as Hoang claimed the pot and took over the top spot.
