Smiljkovic Seizes Huge Chip Lead
Level 17
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Leon Sturm, from the button, and Daniel Smiljkovic, in the big blind got their stacks in the middle, with Smiljkovic's 715,000 chips being at risk.
Daniel Smiljkovic: 7♠7♦
Leon Sturm: A♠J♠
Sturm had a bad feeling about the sevens of his opponents, and he was right as Smiljkovic flopped a set on 10♠3♥7♣. The Q♥ turn brought some outs for Sturm, but Smiljkovic faded them on the 2♦ river. He doubled up and is now a big chipleader three-handed.
