Stoica Picks Off Lakhdari
Level 5
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Marcin Dziubdziela raised to 2,500 under the gun before Roman Stoica three-bet to 7,500 in early position. Omar Lakhdari called in the big blind, as did Dziubdziela.
All three players checked the 5?9?Q? flop. The turn was the 4? and Stoica bet 6,000.
Lakhdari then raised to 25,000, Dziubdziela folded, while Stoica called. Lakhdari took so long to act on the J? river that the dealer had to remind him it was his turn.
He eventually checked and Stoica quickly checked back. "You win," Lakhdari said as he mucked 2?2?. Stoica turned over A?5? for a pair of fives as he took the pot.
