Stanciu Keeps Climbing

Josh Noy

Niveau 34 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Duc Tuan Tran opened to 500,000 on the button and Traian Stanciu defended his big blind to see the 9♠2♣K♠ flop.

Stanciu checked and called after Tran fired 400,000. Both players then checked the J♥ turn before the dealer revealed the J♦ river.

Stanciu led out with a bet of 1,700,000 and Tran took some time before the call. Stanciu showed Q♣J♠ for trip jacks to take over the chip lead.
