Stanko Soars Into Chip Lead
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Shortly after eliminating Dan Bekavac while holding pocket aces, Rudy Stanko saw a turn board with Umut Ozturk that read 
with an already large pot in front of them.
Ozturk bet 35,000, leaving himself a bit over 100,000 behind. Stanko quickly moved all in, with Ozturk covered.
Ozturk didn't take long before folding and ceding the large pot to Stanko, who has taken the chip lead into the break.
Meanwhile, Bekavac has since re-entered and will begin the rebuilding process with three levels of registration remaining.
