Le Dantec Building Momentum

Levent Efe opened to 800 from the hijack and was called by Manuel Schnur and Romain Le Dantec from the button and big blind.

Action checked to Schnur on the Q♦5♠4♠ flop, and he bet 1,600. Le Dantec raised to 4,600. Efe got out of the way, and Schnur pondered for a moment before calling.

Schnur called a bet of 7,200 on the A♦ turn, which saw the 6♦ river come onto the felt. Le Dantec moved all in for 16,900, which sent Schnur into the tank. Schnur asked for a count while having a confused look on his face.

Schnur eventually called only to see that he was beat as his 5♣3♣ was bested by Le Dantec's Q♣4♥, which was good for two pair.

Le Dantec then took in the next pot after three-betting from the small blind, which saw the original raiser fold.

A few hands later, Nolan Curatolo opened to 1,000 from under the gun before Aliaksandr Shylko three-bet to 3,000 from the hijack. Le Dantec then made it 7,500 from the cutoff. Curatolo and Shylko folded their hands.

Le Dantec has found success at King's Resort in Rozvadov before. Two years ago, he took down Event #13: €10,000 NLH 6-Max for €207,267 and his first WSOP bracelet.

Le Dantec overcame the likes of Sonny Franco, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier and Sirzat Hissou at the final table.
