We have just been told that Dean Ospina has handed Marco Lang an absolute gift to catapult him to the top of the chip counts.

The action was joined on a flop of [Jc] [7d] [3s] with 25,000 in the pot. Ospina bets full pot and Lang makes the call. The turn is the [9d] and Ospina check-raise jams after Lang bet 38,000. Lang has 160,000 in front of him, and has Ospina has Lang covered. This is huge. Lang calls, Ospina shows [Ac] [8c] for a gutter and Lang has pocket treys. We didn’t catch the river, but it didn’t change anything, Lang has 400,000.
