Christ Extends Chip Lead
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Matthew Beinner opened from under the gun to 450,000 and found a call from Michael Christ on his immediate left.
Beinner continued on the 7?10?A? flop with a bet of 850,000, with Christ calling to see the K? turn. Beinner fired again, this time for 2,000,000 and Christ counted out the call.
The dealer turned over the 4? river, where Beinner checked. Christ bet 1,500,000, sending Beinner into the tank.
After taking a few minutes, Beinner opted to fold and got a look at Christ's cards before they hit the muck.
Christ flashed a jack-high flush, along with a three-deuce low as he added another pile of chips to his tournament lead.
