Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Michael Banducci

Aleksandr Boitcov opened from early position and was called by Michael Banducci in the cutoff and Michael Weiss in the big blind.

On the 6♠5♦2♦ flop, Weiss checked to Boitcov, who bet 7,000 and Banducci called. Weiss then check-raised to 35,000, and both opponents called.

Weiss led for a healthy size of 115,000 on the 8♠ turn, sending Boitcov into the tank for a while before he folded, and Banducci called quickly.

On the 9♥ turn, Weiss slowed down with a check before Banducci bet 205,000, and Weiss opted to lay down his hand after a minute's tank, conceding a massive pot to the chipleader without showdown.
