Szesci Back In First Place
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Norbert Szecsi was in the big blind when Weiran Pu opened to 900,000 from the small blind. Szecsi called, and a 7♥9♥5♦ board appeared on the table.
Pu stopped his aggression at this point as he checked. Szecsi took this opportunity to bet 700,000. Pu called and checked once again on the turn J♥. Szecsi checked back.
On the river 8♠, Pu took the lead again and added 1,100,000 chips to the pot with K♦J♠ and a pair of jacks. What he didn't know is that Szecsi hit a straight on the river with 10♥10♣. The Hungarian player called and took the pot.
Thanks to this hand, Norbert is back in the lead with 19,500,000 chips.
