Bunch Doubles To Take Chip Lead
Spencer Champlin raised to 600,000 in the small blind and received a call from Eric Bunch, defending his big blind. The flop came and both players checked.
The turn was and Bunch checked. Champlin announced a bet of 650,000 and slid the appropriate chips forward. Bunch announced he was all in.
Champlin went into the tank for close to a minute and threw in a chip to call.
Eric Bunch:
Spencer Champlin:
Champlin's nut second pair was in need of improving to beat Bunch's pair of kings in order to secure victory for the tournament. Unfortunately for him, this would not be the time as the river fell to confirm Bunch's double.
Bunch's remaining stack was then counted out to be confirmed at 8.235 million, meaning he now finds himself as the chip leader in the match.
