Pertea Swings Back Into the Lead

Marius Pertea raised it up with the :::As:::2s and Robert Vukovic called with :::7h:::6d. The duo checked the :::Ad:::6h:::6s flop and the :::9d fell on the turn. Vukovic bet 700,000 and Pertea double-checked his cards before making the call.

On the {10d} river, Vukovic checked his trips and Pertea bet 850,000 and Vukovic called to win a bigger pot.

Pertea raised to 500,000 with {10d}:::7c and Vukovic called with :::Jd:::8s. On a flop of :::Kh:::9c:::9s, a continuation bet did the trick for Pertea.

Pertea raised to 500,000 with :::Qs:::Js and Vukovic three-bet to 1.4 million with :::Ad:::Qh, Pertea quickly called. The flop fell :::Jc:::4c:::3h and Vukovic took another shot at the pot with a bet of 1.0 million, picking up a reluctant call by Pertea.

The :::9h appeared on the turn and Vukovic checked, which prompted 1.3 million into a pot of almost 4.8 million. That was enough to shut down the action and the swing went back to Pertea, who took a 10 big blind lead.

Marius Pertea 8,550,000 1,200,000
