Krakow Takes Over Lead; Bansal Has Time to Spare
Level 31
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Matan Krakow opened to a larger than usual size of 400,000 in middle position. Paawan Bansal spent one of his time banks on the button before he let go of 9♣2♠, and Bora Kurtulus called in the big blind.
Krakow continued with a bet of 300,000 on the A♥9♦2♣ flop. Kurtulus check-called, after which the K♣ turn and 10♥ river were checked to showdown.
Kurtulus had a pocket pair with 6♥6♦, but Krakow tabled 9♠8♠ for a higher pair. Krakow took down the pot, gaining a narrow lead over Kurtulus on the leaderboard.
