Stankov's Standoff
Niveau 23
: 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Quoc Le raised to 60,000 from the cutoff. From the next seat over on the button Ivan Stankov, then went into the tank for over a minute. During that time he shuffled, re-shuffled, counted and re-counted his stack, before he finally three-bet to 175,000, which left him with just 40,000 behind.
With action back on Le, he four-bet to 260,000, which was more than enough to put Stankov all in. Stankov thought for a moment and then threw in his remaining chips.
Ivan Stankov: 
Quoc Le:
