The break began rather late, as the biggest pot of the night was disputed until half of it was gone, with everyone watching. Richard catellier, Donghai Lu and Donald Abdelhay were involved, But when Richard bet the turn, only Donghai came along. The latter then checked raised all-in on the river, which sent Richard to the tank. He thought for at least 2 minutes, not understand the betting line. He ended up calling for all his chips, against the chip leader, with a winning second pair! With this 1.3M-chip pot, we have a new chip leader.
