Navellou Takes the Lead

Level 30: 125,000/250,000 (250,000)
Entries: 6/1,444

Arthur Navellou opened for 500,000 from the cutoff. Leif Hetland three-bet to 1,200,000 and Navellou called.

Navellou check-called a bet of 700,000 on the 10♥7♦Q♦ flop before both players checked the 9♦ turn. Navellou barreled for 3,600,000 after tanking for about two minutes. Hetland went into the tank for about a minute before he let his hand go.

After the hand, we had our first chip lead in recent memory with Navellou a few chips more than previous chip leader Kjetil Hanstvedt.

Arthur Navellou – 21 million
Kjetil Hanstvedt – 20 million
Leif Hetland – 10 million
