Noce Overtakes the Chip Lead
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Eric Bunch opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 135,000. It then folded to Rob Noce in the big blind who three-bet, before Bunch four-bet to put Noce all in for 2,100,000, which Noce called to put himself at risk.
Rob Noce: K?Q? 
Eric Bunch: A?J?
It was a massive pot and fair fight with Bunch ahead with his ace high. The 2?2?J? flop extended the lead for Bunch, but the Q? on the turn put Noce in the lead with just one card to go. The river was the 8? and Noce had the best hand with his pair of queens to double up and overtake the chip lead from Bunch.
