Dorneles Neto Wins Wild Hand For Chip Lead
We missed the preflop action, but we saw that Joao Dorneles Neto and Asher Conniff got into a huge all in confrontation preflop that saw a pot of about 350,000 build up before the flop. Conniff was all in with 
, and he was in rough shape, as Dorneles Neto held 
. The flop came down 
, giving Conniff top pair and the lead. Dorneles Neto led out a huge sigh, and couldn't help but hide his disappointment. However, that changed to jubilation when the 
hit the turn, causing Dorneles Neto to yell out "yes" and pump his arms in the air. The hand wasn't over, as Conniff could still catch a miracle two outer on the river, but he didn't do that, as the 
came.
After stacking up his new chips, we pegged Dorneles Neto's stack to be a chip leading 710,000.
