Bad news for the rest of the field. There's a new chip leader in town. And he knows what to do with a big stack. Andrew Lichtenberger and Lars Bonding, sitting to Chewy's direct left, have been tangling for the last several hours. But no matter what their history, it was all going in when Lichtenberger got aces and Bonding picked up kings. Chewy doubled his stack and is now sitting behind a mountain of more than 700,000.
Lars Bonding got his last chips in a few hands later in a three-way pot with Lichtenberger and another player. The flop came , the third player shipped, and Chewy folded. Bonding tabled his pocket eights and was drawing deader than dead to quad queens. Bonding has had an amazing run during this round of the Venetian Deep Stack, winning two events, but he's not going to get a chance to make it three.
