Schiffbauer Takes the Chip Lead, Sarais Left Short-Stacked
Nivel 4
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
The hand was picked up with Matteo Sarais having 144,300 chips out in front of him from the small blind and Robbie Schiffbauer having made it 40,000 from the button. After thinking for a while, Sarais shoved, and Schiffbauer called for his stack of 141,000.
Robbie Schiffbauer: K♦K♣ 
Matteo Sarais: Q♥Q♠
Schiffbauer was in the lead and would take the chip lead if his pocket kings held up. Sarais would also march to the top of the counts if he could spike a queen, but he would need to go runner-runner after the 7♦K♥8♠ flop gave Schiffbauer top set. No miracle runout occured as the A♥ turn and 7♥ river meant Schiffbauer improved to a full house, and he doubled up.
