Stefanski Wins a Big One
Just before the break, we picked up a big pot.
Under the gun, Philippe Plouffe made it 27,000 to go, and David Stefanski three-bet to 62,000 in position. Plouffe made the call, and off they went to the flop.
It came , and it check-checked to the turn. Plouffe now took the lead with a bet of 45,000. Stafanski snuck in a raise to 107,000, and Plouffe called. The blank landed on the river, and Plouffe knocked the table. Stefanski fired one last bullet -- 240,000. Plouffe called again, and those were chips he'd not get back.
Stefanski turned over , and that was good. With that pot, Plouffe has been knocked down to just 189,000 lonely chips. For Stefanski, however, it was a fine conclusion to a fantastic level. He was the short stack at the last break, and now he's second in chips with 1.035 million.
