Ahuja Fires Away at Stantchev in Lengthy Pot
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Christian Stantchev raised to 30,000 in the hijack, Ankit Ahuja three-bet to 55,000 in the cutoff, and Stantchev called.
The flop came 9♣10♦Q♣ and Ahuja continued for 50,000. Stantchev called.
The turn was the 7♦ and Ahuja bet another 130,000. Stantchev spent several minutes in the tank before calling.
The 8♦ fell on the river and Stantchev checked again. Ahuja spent a few minutes before he put in a bet of 250,000. Stantchev went into the tank again for several minutes, but this time folded as Ahuja took the pot in a hand that lasted nearly ten minutes.
