Deak's Lead Grows Huge
Level 39
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Ferenc Deak raised to 3,000,000 in the cutoff, and Quan Tran defended his big blind. Tran check-called Deak's bet of 7,800,000 on the 10♦8♥K♦ flop, but he check-folded once Deak put him all-in for 15,000,000 on the 2♥ turn.
A couple of hands later, Paulo Drummond limped in from the small blind, and Deak raised to the maximum of 3,600,000 in the big blind. Drummond instantly called, after which the 8♥5♥2♥ flop checked through.
Drummond threw in a pot-sized bet of 8,400,000 on the 7♥ turn, which Deak called. Drummond upped the ante to 19,000,000 on the 9♦ river before Deak shoved on him.
Drummond spent some time in the tank, repeatedly looking at his cards. Eventually, he decided to fold as he left himself just over 20 big blinds.
