Maue Takes the Chip Lead from Stokes
Level 35
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 32,500 ante
Ivan "ILS007" Stokes raised to 500,000 from under the gun and Leonard "Grozzorg" Maue was the only interested party in the cutoff. The flop of Q♥2♥10♠ saw Stokes continue for 550,275 and Maue call.
Stokes then fired a pot-sized bet of 2,750,000 on the 5♦ turn and Maue made another call. The 10♦ river was subsequentially checked by both players, and Stokes' pair of fies with 7♥5♥ was beaten by Maue's A♣Q♦ for a pair of queens, giving the chip lead to Maue.
