Joseph Wertz into the Chip Lead

A board of [Ks7h6h] is on the table and Shankatr Pillai bets 135,000 on the hijack. Joseph Wertz raises to 300,000 on the button and Pillai reraises all in. Wertz makes the all-in call for 671,000 and they flip over their cards:

Pillai: [8s7d]
Wertz: [AsAc]

Turn and River: [6sJh]

Pillai was crippled with 35,000 after the hand while Wertz is now the chip leader with 1.7 million after winning the massive pot. This is the hand that led to Pillai busting in 20th place a short time later.

Shankar Pillai – 35,000 (2 bb) 
Joseph Wertz – 1,740,000 (145 bb)
