Crantz Takes Chip Lead With Straight Over Two Pair
Level 52
: Blinds 1,400,000/2,800,000, 2,800,000 ante
Jerome Crantz raised to 5,600 from the button with 8♥8♦ and Jean-Côme Haye called in the big blind with 7♥6♣.
The flop ran out K♣5♠9♠ and Haye checked. Crantz bet 3,500,000 with his pair of eights and Haye check-raised to 10,500,000, which Crantz called. Both players then checked as Haye made a pair of sixes on the 6♦ turn.
The river came the 7♣, which gave Haye two pair and Crantz a straight. Haye led out with a large bet of 26,000,000 and Crantz moved all in for 56,200,000. Haye went deep into the tank before eventually opting to fold his hand.
Crantz scooped in the pot, which gave him a near 2:1 chip lead.
