Swift Rise to Chip Leader
Katie Swift has taken the chip lead in the partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Main Event, and in thrilling fashion.
Swift got all of Timothy Harold's chips just after returning from the dinner break in the marquee here at Dusk Till Dawn on Day 2 and it was a suckout. The two players had history and went to a flop of with Harold having opened to 85,000 pre-flop, been raised to 210,000 by Swift and calling. Post-flop, the betting action went even bigger, with Swift checked to by Harold. She bet 280,000 and Harold raised to 775,000. Swift shoved for around five million chips and Harold called for marginally less.

Timothy Harold:
The turn card was a club, opening the possibility of a flush, and that four-flush came in on the river to see Harold busted and Swift catapulted into the lead with her hands physically shaking.
"I thought I was out of the door," Swift told us afterwards while stacking up the biggest chipstack across both cardrooms and the Day 2 field.
