Conforti Takes the Chip Lead
Level 14
: 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Frederick Conforti limped from middle position, Michael VanderWoude called in the hijack, and Tim Capretta raised to 8,000 from the small blind. Only Conforti called.
The flop came 
, Capretta continuation bet for 13,000, Conforti raised to 30,000, Capretta shoved, and Conforti, who was covered, snap called.
Frederick Conforti: 
Tim Capretta: 
Conforti found himself on the winning end of a cooler, with his broadway straight ahead of Capretta's set of queens. The turn 
and river 
changed nothing, and Conforti now finds himself in the chip lead.
