Trayner Takes the Lead
Level 28
: Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Malcolm Trayner opened to 250,000 from early position with 7♠7♥ and Kanaan Youkhanna just called in the big blind holding 10♦10♣.
The A♣7♣9♥ flop gave Trayner a set and Youkhanna check-called a 175,000 bet from Trayner.
The J♣ fell on the turn and Youkhanna check-called a 375,000 bet from Trayner after picking up a straight draw to go along with his tens.
Youkhanna checked a final time on the J♦ river and Trayner fired 1,300,000 into the middle. Youkhanna went deep into the tank and counted out a call, but eventually landed on a fold and Trayner was sent the pot.
