Stoica Picks Off Lakhdari

Level 5 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Marcin Dziubdziela raised to 2,500 under the gun before Roman Stoica three-bet to 7,500 in early position. Omar Lakhdari called in the big blind, as did Dziubdziela.

All three players checked the 5♠9♦Q♥ flop. The turn was the 4♣ and Stoica bet 6,000.

Lakhdari then raised to 25,000, Dziubdziela folded, while Stoica called. Lakhdari took so long to act on the J♣ river that the dealer had to remind him it was his turn.

He eventually checked and Stoica quickly checked back. "You win," Lakhdari said as he mucked 2♥2♣. Stoica turned over A♥5♥ for a pair of fives as he took the pot.
