Stanciu’s Aggression Forces a Fold
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Traian-Costin Stanciu opened the action from early position with a raise to 300, drawing calls from both blinds.
The flop came K♥6♠J♥, and after both blinds checked, Stanciu continued for 400. Only Cedric Schwaederle in the small blind called to proceed to the turn.
The 2♣ turn saw another check from Schwaederle, giving Stanciu the chance to ramp up the pressure with a bet of 1,500. After some thought, Schwaederle made the call.
The 6♦ river prompted one final check from Schwaederle. Stanciu paused briefly before firing a third barrel, this time for 4,100. Schwaederle went deep into the tank, taking nearly three minutes to deliberate, but ultimately let his hand go, conceding the pot to Stanciu's unrelenting aggression.
