Stankevics Takes Big Lead
Level 32
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Krisjanis Stankevics opened to 400,000 from the button with J♦10♣, and was met with a three-bet to 1,100,000 from Guillermo Gordo in the big blind with Q♠6♣.
Stankevics called to see the 10♠8♠5♥ flop, where Gordo continued with a bet of 550,000, which failed to shake off Stankevics.
The 7♦ rolled off on the turn, giving Gordo an up and down, and he fired out a bet of 1,500,000, which failed to dispose of Stankevics, holding top pair.
The A♦ river completed the board, and Gordo gave up on the hand, checking to Stankevics, who checked back to take the pot with a pair of tens.
