Banic Overtakes Tabac; Di Giacomo Busts Vranken
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
On the 9♣8♥2♥ flop, Mihai Tabac bet 100,000 from middle position, Ivan Banic called in the hijack, and he called again when Tabac doubled his sizing to 200,000 on the Q♣ turn.
The 5♣ river saw Tabac slow down with a check. Banic responded with a bet of 425,000, to which Tabac quickly folded to concede the pot.
At another table, Antoine Vranken had been eliminated by Claudio Di Giacomo, who crossed the two-million mark as a result.
