Ibanez Overbets His Way to Chip Lead
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Johann Ibanez has been ripping through the field and has taken the chip lead with 140 players remaining.
He just crossed the one million mark after being paid off by Michael Lavenburg.
Ibanez kicked things off by making 12,000 from middle position, with Lavenburg calling from the big blind.
Lavenburg check-raised to 40,000 on the J♠10♥7♥ flop after Ibanez continued for 10,000. The latter called.
The K♠ turn checked through to the 7♣ river, and Lavenburg checked again. Ibanez slid out 135,000, which was an overbet as 106,500 was in the pot. After some thinking, Lavenburg called.
Ibanez tabled his 10♣7♦, which was good for a full house and Lavenburg mucked.
