Lebor Takes it on The Turn

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Alessio Di Cesare raised to 10,000 from middle position and was called by Benjamin Lebor in the cutoff, Hubert Matuszewski in the small blind, and Michal Hryncewicz in the big blind.

Action checked to Lebor on the 48J flop and he bet 22,000. Only Cesare called.

The dealer brought the A on the turn and Cesare checked again — prompting a 49,000 bet from Lebor. This time Cesare folded and Lebor collected the pot.
