A New Leader Emerges
We pick up the action on a heads-up flop reading . Bjorn Verbakel is first, checking the action over to his opponent, Amnon Filippi. Filippi put out 10,000 chips, drawing a check-raise to 30,000 from Verbakel. Without too much delay, Filippi raised to 96,800.
The move sent Verbakel deep into the tank. "Will you show if I fold?" he asked.
Fillipi halfway appeased him: "I won't show all four cards, no." After another minute or two of careful consideration, Verbakel sent his cards back to the dealer face-down. Filippi told him to pick two cards, and Verbakel turned over the and from his opponent's hand.
After that exchange, Verbakel has slipped back to 106,000, while Filippi may have taken the overall chip lead with 210,000.
