Palti and Kia Swap

Michael Palti opened with a raise to 30,000. Farhad Kia called, and it was heads up to the flop.

The first three community cards came {10-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}. Kia led right out into Palti, sliding out 30,000 chips. Palti raised the minimum, and Kia called the additional 30,000.

The turn was the {4-Hearts}, and Kia fired the rest of his chips, moving all in. Palti thought for a few moments before letting his hand go. With that exchange, Farhad Kia has taken the chip lead from his opponent, and now sits tantilizingly close to 300,000.
