D'Avanzo Soars Into the Lead
Level 12
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
David Taborsky opened to 7,500 and Armando D'Avanzo three-bet to 18,000 from one seat over. Rolf Van Brug then called on the button and Taborsky came along. The flop fell 
and all three players checked to the 
turn. Taborsky now checked and D'Avanzo bet 25,000. Van Brug raised to 75,000 with more than 150,000 behind.
That forced out Taborsky but D'Avanzo jammed and earned the call by Van Brug.
Rolf Van Brug: 
Armando D'Avanzo: 
The 
on the river brought no help to the Dutchman and he was sent to the rail in the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
