There can only be one winner

Piotr Gajdecki and Carlos Chang both came into today with big stacks and the two just clashed in a big pot that saw the former claim the chip lead.

We reached the at the river where the board read 8s8hkh 4d 6h. Gajdecki was first to act from the big blind and moved all-in for his last 43,000. After getting a count Chang made the call to swell the total pot size to 185,000.

Gajdecki tabled 7h 5s for a rivered inside straight and got up out of his chair to celebrate. Chang didn't see the straight and slammed down 9s9h thinking he had made a correct call. It was soon pointed out to him that he lost. He sat down and licked his wounds and assessed the damage. It was severe but not fatal as he still had 26,000 chips left.
