Hand #203: Martin Staszko

Level 41 : 800,000/1,600,000, 200,000 ante

Martin Staszko had the button, and he completed for the minimum. Pius Heinz checked, and they took a friendly {2-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {9-Hearts} flop. Heinz led out with 2 million, Staszko called, and the {K-Spades} landed on the turn. Heinz loaded up the gun and fired again -- 4.5 million this time. Staszko flatted again, and the river brought the {7-Spades}. And a long pause. Heinz spent maybe 90 seconds or so plotting his next action, and he decided -- not surprisingly -- to bet it again. He slid out another 14.25 million -- nearly a full-pot bet.

It was another 90 seconds or so before the call came, and Heinz showed up {7-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} for two pair. It was second-best. Staszko waited to see, then flipped up his {Q-Hearts} {7-Clubs} to take the pot.

With it comes the chip lead once again, and we've got ourselves a battle here.
