Lehavot vs. Baron in a Monster Pot
We didn't catch all the action, but we know a preflop raising war between Amir Lehavot and Isaac Baron resulted in the former being all in and at risk in a pot worth 366,000.
Lehavot:
Baron:
It was a flip for the chip lead, one that came down favorably for Baron as the flop paired his queen and gave him a redraw to the nut flush. The turn changed nothing, and neither did the river.
Lehavot, who won the $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em Championship earlier this year, simply said, "Nice call," as he counted out his chips. Baron appears to be the new tournament chip leader.
