Matthew Humphrey has taken the chip lead over the course of two consecutive pots against Upeshka De Silva. In the first, Humphrey five-bet shoved preflop, drawing a quick fold from De Silva, who had been the opener/four-bettor from under the gun.

One hand later, Humphrey opened the button to 120,000, and De Silva defended his big blind. The board ran out Qs4h4cKdAd, with De Silva check-calling bets on all three streets. When he called the last bet, Humphrey showed QdQh to win the big pot with queens full.

Chip counts are hard to judge right now, so these are very approximate:

Matthew Humphrey – 6,200,000 (103 bb)
Upeshka De Silva – 2,900,000 (48 bb)
