Stanciu Shines Bright, Hochheim's Diamond Dreams Crushed
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
With a sizable pot already brewing and the flop showing J♦8♣4♦, Traian Stanciu pushed all in after a bet from David Hochheim. Hochheim quickly called, revealing K♠K♦ for an overpair, while Stanciu held 8♦7♦ for a pair of eights and a flush draw.
The turn delivered the 2♦, completing Stanciu's flush. Now it was Hochheim hoping for a diamond to improve to a higher flush, but the 4♣ on the river sealed his fate. Stanciu scooped the pot and collected the bounty, sending Hochheim to the rail.
