Blaschke Takes The Chip Lead

Austria’s Manuel Blaschke has taken the chip lead here in Slovenia. He opened to 10,000 from middle position and Hugh Cohen called from the cutoff.

The flop came down [AcQh5d] and Blaschke bet 11,000 and Cohen called. The turn brought the [3s] into play and Blaschke continued with the aggression and bet 23,000 and was again called.

The river was the [6c] and again he bet, this time 76,000 but Cohen folded.

Ladies and gentleman we have a new chip leader!
