Local Parx tournament regular, Xianwei Ha, just found a dream spot early in Level 18 to vault into the chip lead.
Jerry Maher opened the button to 25k and was 3-bet by Ha in the big blind to 125k total. Maher then shoved for ~840k and was called by Ha who had him slightly covered. Ha held the AxAx against Maher’s AKo and the board brought no miracle for Maher sending him from the Top 5 to the rail in under 30-minutes of play since the break.
Ha now has ~1.66M and a significant chip-lead as the field crawls towards the money bubble.
