Atoui Runs to Chip Lead
Kamel Atoui is a very active player and he pulled off a big bluff yesterday on Day 1B. He's back to playing aggressively again today and just won a pot to attain the chip lead.
Atoui opened from early position to 8,000 and Orey Canarinho defended his big blind when it folded around to him. The flop came down 
. Canarinho went for the check-call route and called a bet of 13,000 from Atoui to see the turn.
The turn was the 
and Canarinho checked again. Atoui bet 27,000 this time and Canarinho took a little bit longer to make up his mind. He flicked in a call and they went to the river.
The dealer put down the 
and Canarinho checked to Atoui for the third and final time. Atoui fired once more as he put 35,000 in the middle. Canarinho called after a minute, only to see Atoui open up 
for runner-runner two pair. Canarinho mucked and Atoui has now well over half a million in front of him.
