Big Stax 500 (Day 3): Xu Grabs The Final Table Chip Lead

Level 27 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000)
Players Remaining: 9
Chip Average: 4,100,000

There was already a sizable pot brewing between Scott Blumstein and Deding Xu, but things got pretty serious on the river.  The full board was laid out (A 9 A♠ 8♠ 6♣), and Xu had a river bet in front of him of 1,675,000.  Scott was deep in the tank, doing a little talking to himself, and visibly just pained with his decision.  Blumstein eventually grabbed some chips in his hand and begrudgingly dumped them across the line.  Deding would turn over A 9, having flopped a full house, and Scott was left to go over how he played the hand with his friends on the rail.

Dedign Xu - 7,500,000
Scott Blumstein - 4,500,000
