Tim Baker

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Traian Stanciu raised to 6,000 from early position and Manoe Betrix three-bet to 15,000 from the hijack. When it folded back to Stanciu he called with roughly 45,000 behind.

Stanciu checked the 7♦6♦10♥ flop and Betrix bet 18,000. Stanciu check-jammed for 45,000 which Betrix called.

Traian Stanciu: 10♦9♦ All in
Manoe Betrix: K♦K♠

Betrix had kings, but Stanciu had a monster combo draw. The 3♦ turn put Stanciu ahead with a flush and he just had to avoid a fourth diamond to double-up. The A♥ hit the river and Stanciu won the pot with a flush.
