Trancucci Continues to Climb
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
After Kevin Valek limped in the cutoff, Matthew Trancucci raised to 16,000 in the small blind and Brian Nieboer called in the big blind. Valek elected to step aside.
Both players checked on the 2♣6♠5♠ flop, bringing the 9♣ turn, where Trancucci led out for 12,000. Nieboer called and the river fell the 7♥, where action went check-check.
Trancucci tabled A♠J♥ for ace-high, which was good enough to take down the pot.
