The final two players have been relatively close in chips for most of the heads-up battle, but Joseph Olivieri is starting to build a lead.

During Limit Hold’em, Mike Soroka raised to 80,000, and Olivieri called from the big blind.

The flop came As9d7c, Olivieri checked, Soroka bet 40,000, and Olivieri called.

The turn card was the 8h, and both players checked.

The river card was the 4d, Olivieri bet 80,000, and Soroka called. Olivieri showed Ac7d for two pair, aces and sevens, and Soroka flashed one card — the Ad — before he mucked. Olivieri took the pot to build up a nearly 3-to-1 chip lead.

Joseph Olivieri  –  1,150,000  (14 BB)
Mike Soroka  –  400,000  (5 BB)
