Stein Makes His Move With Big River Bet
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 4♥3♦9♠, Daniel Dzian bet 200,000 from the cutoff before Sam Stein, under the gun, raised to 650,000.
Dzian instantly flicked in a chip to signify a call as the 8♦ fell on the turn. Stein then led out for 925,000 and Dzian again threw in just a single chip to call before assembling the rest of the bet.
The river came the K♦ and Stein built a tower of purple 100,000 chips, sliding it into the middle for a bet of 2,200,000. Dzian snap-called and Stein showed 9♦4♦ for two pair.
Dzian mucked as Stein, who began the day with just 4,450,000, took in the pot to climb up to nearly 17,000,000.
