Balanza Wins Huge Pot to Take Chip Lead

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ivan Balanza
Ivan Balanza

Armando Mesina opened in early position to 21,000 and Ivan Balanza called behind. Taylor Howard then three-bet to 85,000 and action folded back to Mesina who then ripped it all in for around 350,000. Balanza paused for a few seconds before also moving all in, putting himself at risk while Howard quickly got out of the way.

Ivan Balanza: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Armando Mesina: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Balanza was a big favorite in this matchup, and the flop of {k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs} put him lightyears ahead with his top set of kings. The runout of {3-Spades}{4-Hearts} improved him to a full house and he was shipped the massive pot to put him into the chip lead with almost 700,000.
