New Leader Before Break
Nível 18
: 1,750/3,500, 450 ante
Bert Stevens three-bet a pot that contained around 17,000 in it, making it 32,450 to go. Only Noam "silverplat" Makavy called to see the 
flop where Stevens led out, betting 25,196.
Makavy called and a 
flipped over as the turn card. Stevens continued to fire with a bet of 41,825 an Makavy called once more.
A board-completing 
fell and Stevens jammed for more than enough to cover his opponent. The timebank button was hit by Makavy but ultimately, he put in his 125,712 stack, tabling 
for a flopped dime.
Stevens rolled over the bad news, showing 
which gave him a higher two pair after turning a johnnie. Makavy was eliminated just shy of the money and Stevens took the lead heading into the break with the bubble looming.
