A Big Swing

New chipleader David Dao
New chipleader David Dao
We join another confrontation between Matt Stout and his nemesis David Dao. On the flop, the board shows {2-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {7-Clubs}. Dao checks, and Stout puts out 70,000 chips. Dao quickly moves all in, and before he can even get the words out of his mouth, Stout says, "I call!"

Showdown:
Dao: {2-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}
Stout: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}

"Three-to-two favorite," Stout reassures himself. With a myriad of outs, he is the one standing up to await the last two cards.

Turn: {3-Spades}

River: {5-Clubs}

To everyone's surprise, Stout somehow bricks off twice, sending a courtesy double up over to his rival. After that confrontation, Dao has become the first person other than Stout to hold the chip lead. He sits with 950,000, dropping Matt Stout down to 850,000.
