Wu Propels to Chip Lead in Huge Pot
Niveau 7
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
It all started out pretty slow when everyone folded to Aleksei Gortikov on the button but that is where the party started. He opened the action with a raise to 40,000 and Yake Wu three-bet from the small blind to 125,000. Yazan Mdanat called from the big blind and initial raiser Gortiov called as well.
The flop was dealt 
and Wu continued his preflop aggression with a bet of 230,000. Mdanat then raised to 530,000 and Gortikov just called. Wu four-bet all in and Mdanat got out of the way. Wu had Gortikov covered who called for 1,700,000 in total.
Aleksei Gortikov: 
Yake Wu: 
The board ran out with the 
on the turn and the 
on the river and Wu raked in a big pot to close in on six million chips while Gortikov was sent to the rail.
