Stasiak Takes a Huge Lead Going Into the Break
Niveau 36
: 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante
There was only one hand of heads-up action before the break but it turned out to be the biggest pot of the tournament. Alex "astazz" Stasiak raised to 1,600,000 in the small blind and Martin "colinchow" Ilobera defended from the big blind. The flop came 
and Ilobera check-called a bet of 1,600,000 from Stasiak.
The turn brought the 
and both players checked to the 
on the river. Ilobera checked again and Stasiak fired in a bet of 4,950,000. Ilobera used some of his time bank before check-raising all in. Stasiak called much faster for his remaining 17,712,427 chips.
Ilobera showed 
for a missed flush draw while Stasiak held 
for a turned straight. When the players return, Ilobera will have just over seven big blinds in this heads-up battle.
