Jack En-Ching Wu reclaims the chip lead, reaches 1.1M


Intense hand just went down between the big stacks Jack En-Ching Wu and Austin Walton. Walton raised it to 35k from the utg seat and found two callers in cutoff Wu and big blind Kai Paulsen.

At the flop 8 Q 6, initial raiser Walton bet 42k and got one customer in Wu. On the 10 turn, action was the same with Wu calling an 80k. On the 5 river, heavy action ensued with Walton continuing with a 125k bet, Wu raised to 325k, Walton tanked and counted out the chips but eventually opted to surrender his bid for the pot.

Wu has now reclaimed the lead with over 1.1M in chips, Walton fell to 700k.
