2017 World Series of Poker Europe
Vasile Stancu just doubled up after being at risk and behind and now he doubled through the chip leader.
Stancu opened to 11,000 and Serghei Lisiy, who began the day as the overall chip leader, raised from the small blind to 32,000. Stancu wasted no time going all in for 122,000 and Lisiy took a moment to decide his next move. He called and showed ![]()

of Stancu.
The board ran out ![]()
![]()

Vasile Stancu three-bet shoved his last 49,500 from the big blind over and under the gun open. He was behind with ![]()
against the ![]()
of his opponent.
He hit a nine on the flop and stayed ahead to earn the double. His opponent gave him a fist bump, presumably unconcerned about the loss of the pot, but Stancu survived the all in with stack a little more than 100,000.
