Tommy San and Yuki Nagase have been playing pot after pot tonight, either against each other or against the rest of the table. Well the two just butted heads in a big preflop confrontation that saw San score a huge double up.
San got his final 2.4 million in the middle holding [Ac][9h], and he was racing against the [8s][8d] of Nagase. San shot out to the lead after a flop of [Qs][4c][9s], but the [10h] on the turn gave Nagase a few more outs. It wouldn't come through though, as the river brought the [9d].
With that pot, San vaults into the chip lead with nearly five million in chips, while Nagase tumbles down to three million.
