Pihela Takes the Lead

Pihela Takes the Lead

Level 22: 10,000/20,000 (20,000)
Entries: 8/285

In just two hands there have already been two lead changes. Glen Gaines opened for 45,000 from the hijack with 3 3 and was called by Igor Pihela Sr. from the cutoff with A 9 , Mikael Andersson from the button with 8 7 and Seppo Parkkinen from the small blind with K Q .

Two players checked before Pihela Sr. bet 75,000. The rest of the table folded and this was enough for Pihela Sr. to snag the chip lead.
