Big Slick Scores for Stavila
Level 21
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
A player opened to 40,000 preflop and action folded to the small blind who called, but then Dan Stavila three-bet to 140,000.
The original raiser slid his cards to the dealer but the small blind responded by moving all in for around 350,000.
Stavila checked his cards once more and promptly made the call to put his opponent at risk.
Small Blind: K♦9♦
Dan Stavila: A♦K♥
Stavila was in a great spot with his dominating hand, and the flop of K♠6♦5♥ gave both players a king, but the turn 4♦ gave his opponent a diamond draw.
"It's always a sweat," Stabvila said, but the river was the A♠ to improve him to top two and he scooped the pot while the opposing player found the exit.
