Lancaster Leads

Michael Shinzaki raised to 24,000 from early position and Richard Lancaster made the call in the hijack. The blinds folded and the two went to a flop of {2-Hearts}{J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

Shinzaki checked and Lancaster fired 46,000. Shinzaki made the call and the turn fell the {Q-Hearts}. This time Shinzaki came out firing with a bet of 94,000. Lancaster took his time before sliding out a call.

The river was the {3-Hearts} and Shinzaki fired again, this time for 130,000. Lancaster again made the call. Shinzaki had obviously been caught with his hand in the cookie jar as he didn't showdown his cards and instead simply tossed them into the muck.

"Do I have to show?" asked Lancaster. The answer was no, so Lancaster raked in the huge pot without showdown! He's now over the 1 million chip mark and into the lead as Shinzaki slips to 350,000.
