Stanford and Martini Open Up Leads

William Stanford has put Phil Galfond on the edge by claiming yet another pot. The board read {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and Stanford led out with a bet of 16,500. Galfond called and the {3-Clubs} landed on the river. Stanford fired out another bet of 36,000 and Galfond tanked for a couple of minutes before calling.

Stanford turned over {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Galfond was forced to give up his hand. Galfond did manage to double up his short stack shortly after but still remains a huge underdog.

At the table next door, Julien Martini slid out a turn bet of 11,000 on a board reading {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Anthony Zinno called and the {8-Clubs} completed the board.

Martini checked this time and Zinno threw in a bet of 30,000. Martini check-raised to 80,000 which put Zinno in the tank for nearly five minutes. He eventually laid his hand down and Martini took a chip lead in their matchup.
