Bianchi Doubles into the Chip Lead through Coliny

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Paul Bianchi opened to 80,000 on the button, and Justin Coliny called in the big blind.

The two went to a flop of {k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}, and, as we've seen him do a handful of times before in this tournament, Coliny led into his raiser for 125,000. Bianchi thought for a moment and called.

The board paired on the {6-Diamonds} turn, and Coliny continued for 250,000. Bianchi took his time counting down his stack and considering his options, eventually raising to 575,000. Action was back on Coliny, who gave it a minute before three-bet shoving and putting Bianchi at risk for his tournament life. But Bianchi couldn't have possibly called any faster.

Paul Bianchi: {6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Justin Coliny: {j-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

Bianchi had nailed the turn for trips, and Coliny's bluff-shove couldn't get through, leaving him drawing dead before the {a-Diamonds} river. Bianchi raked the pot and took the chip lead.
