Chip Leaders Clash; Both on 4M Chips
Mishel Anunu and Mario Stanic are sharing the same table, with Stanic seated immediately to Anunu’s left. The pair appear to hold two of the biggest stacks in the room, and they recently clashed in a pot that ended with a hefty river raise from Stanic.
Anunu opened to 60,000 from the hijack and Stanic called from the cutoff.
The K♠6♦5♣ flop checked through to the 9♣ turn, where Anunu fired 80,000 and Stanic made the call. The 4♥ river completed the board, and Anunu sized up to 125,000. After taking some time to think, Stanic raised sharply to 650,000, sending Anunu deep into the tank.
Starting the hand with just over 4.2 million, Anunu studied his opponent closely. Stanic, meanwhile, stared straight ahead with wired headphones in, giving little away. The table fell silent as Anunu weighed his options before eventually folding, awarding Stanic the pot and pulling the two big stacks to roughly even footing.
The table called for Stanic to show a bluff, but he only flashed the 7♥ and said, “That’s all you need to see.”
