A Chip Leader out of the blue

Walking past table three, Michael Lancri emerged with a massive stack of what looked like 350,000 and we had a quick chat with the Frenchman about what happened. After getting moved to the very same table, he knocked out two players within an orbit to claim a massive stack.

The very first hand saw him pick up pocket aces on the button and he min-clicked from 3,500 to 7,000, receiving two callers. On a :::Qx:::9x:::7x rainbow flop he continued for 12,000 and was called by one opponent before shoving the {10d} turn into a bet of 25,000 by his opponent. The latter called for his last 40,000 behind with :::Qx:::Kx and the river bricked.

Fast forward one orbit and he picked up :::Ax:::Jx and flopped two pair. An opponent called his min-raise from 7,000 to 14,000 and they got it in after a brick on the turn, the other player had flopped the worse two pair with :::Ah{10h}. That’s how you win at poker, run good!
