Stanciu's Snowmen Win a Flip
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Axel Hallay opened from the hijack to 60,000 and Matas Cimbolas three-bet the cutoff to 180,000. Traian Stanciu was in the big blind and shoved for around 375,000, which got Hallay to fold. Cimbolas checked how much it was then tossed in the extra chips to put Stanciu at risk.
Traian Stanciu: 8♦8♣ 
Matas Cimbolas: Q♦9♦
Stanciu's Snowmen were in the lead and they stayed there throughout the hand's entirety as the 3♣2♣A♥6♣3♦ runout earned him a much-needed double-up.
