Jeremy Ausmus Takes the Chip Lead
Matas Cimbolas raised to 5,000 from under the gun before Jeremy Ausmus three-bet to 15,000 next to act.
From the small blind, Aaron Van Blarcum called, and Cimbolas folded.
The flop landed [4d7cAs] and Van Blarcum checked to Ausmus who continued for 13,000. Van Blarcum elected to check-raise to 37,000 and Ausmus called.
The turn fell the [6h] and Van Blarcum bet out 55,000. Ausmus called, and when the river landed the [Qd], both players checked.
Van Blarcum tabled his [5h5d], but it was Ausmus’ [AhKh] that earned him the pot – and the chip lead.
