Wasylenko to the Lead

Eric Wasylenko opened to 80k in the last hand of Level 22, and Jerry Li raised it to 200k. Wasy called, and they both checked the 5♥6♠9♦ flop.

Wasylenko fired 130k on the 8♠ turn, and Li called to the 4♦ river. Wasy bet 450k and Li tank-called, but mucked when Wasylenko announced “straight” and showed A♠7♠ for the turned straight with a spade redraw.

Wasylenko now has the big lead with about 1.9 million, while Jerry Li and Ramaz Haymour are playing about 800k each.
