Seymour Seizes Lead

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Marc Seymour
Marc Seymour

Both Marc Seymour and Evaldas Stanevicius have been contenders for the chip lead, with the latter holding that honour since just before the dinner break.

However, all that changed in a sizable pot that played out between the pair. The action was picked up on a flop of {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} with 26,000 in the pot, with Stanevicius (small blind) check-calling Seymour's 6,000 flop bet.

The {9-Hearts} turn saw Stanevicius check once more, with Seymour firing out a slightly larger 35,000 bet, which saw Stanevicius hit the think tank for a few seconds before making the call.

The {2-Clubs} river saw Stanevicius check for a third time, and Seymour bet big, leading out for a sizable 80,000 river bet. Stanevicius tanked for several minutes this time, but did eventuallyu slide out the call. However, Stanevicius' {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} was not enough to beat Seymour's {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and the latter stacked up to 560,000, while Stanevicius dropped down to 267,000.
