State's Domination Continues
Level 37
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Giorgio Soceanu sat in the small blind and raised to 750,000. Adrian State defended his big blinds as the nemesi went off to the 7♣3♦J♥ flop.
Soceanu tossed in a bet of 500,000, which State quickly called. The 7♥ turn was checked to State, who made a sizable bet of 2,500,000.
State then over-bet the 4♠ river for 8,500,000. Soceanu shrugged and tossed in a calling chip for State to table 8♦7♠ for trip sevens. Frustrated, Soceanu showed K♣J♠ for a no-good pair of jacks.
State ended the hand with two-thirds of the chips in play, a dominant lead over the other two contenders.
