Ahuja Fires Away at Stantchev in Lengthy Pot
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Christian Stantchev raised to 30,000 in the hijack, Ankit Ahuja three-bet to 55,000 in the cutoff, and Stantchev called.
The flop came 9?10?Q? and Ahuja continued for 50,000. Stantchev called.
The turn was the 7? and Ahuja bet another 130,000. Stantchev spent several minutes in the tank before calling.
The 8? fell on the river and Stantchev checked again. Ahuja spent a few minutes before he put in a bet of 250,000. Stantchev went into the tank again for several minutes, but this time folded as Ahuja took the pot in a hand that lasted nearly ten minutes.
