Level 27
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Traian Stanciu raised to 100,000 from under the gun and Duc Tuan Tran put in a three-bet to 300,000 from the button. Stanciu made the call once action got back on him, and the pair checked through the 10♦A♠8♦ flop.
Stanciu then made a bet of 175,000 on the 10♣ turn before Tran put in a raise to 450,000. Stanciu obliged with a call and the A♦ river double-paired the board.
The action went check-check again and Stanciu tabled 10♠10♥ for quad tens. By winning this pot, Stanciu grabbed the chip lead in the tournament.
