Judah Takes More From Shchmelev And Takes The Lead
Level 26
: 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
From the small blind, Vladimir Shchmelev opened to 95,000 and he was called by Mel Judah in the big. The flop came down 
and Shchmelev led out with a bet of 75,000. Judah raised to 150,000 and was called by Shchmelev.
The turn was the 
and both players slowed down with a check.
On the 
river, Shchmelev checked again to Judah, but Judah didn't check. He fired out 200,000 and after a little while in the tank, Shchmelev frustratedly mucked his cards, thus awarding Judah the pot and the chip lead.
