New Chip Leader?
Action was picked up on the flop of an inflated pot, with around 120,000 in the middle. Small blind Duan Wendong checked over to late position Daan Mulders, who placed 25,000 into the middle on the 6♥6♣2♦ flop. Wendong put in the call.
The turn was the 7♦ and Mulders didn't slow down when checked to. He fired out 50,000, and Wendong called again. He then checked for a third time on the 7♠ and Mulders chucked a stack of green 25,000 chips in, to put his opponent to a decision for his tournament life.
Wendong went deep into the tank, taking some three minutes. After mulling over his decision, he finally released his cards to the dealer.
"New chip leader?" asked Mulders compatriot Michael Hutting, also at the table. Unfortunately for Mulders, Felix Kuemayr might have something to say about that.
