Stanciu Cracks Betrix's Kings
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Traian Stanciu raised to 6,000 from early position and Manoe Betrix three-bet to 15,000 from the hijack. When it folded back to Stanciu he called with roughly 45,000 behind.
Stanciu checked the 7?6?10? flop and Betrix bet 18,000. Stanciu check-jammed for 45,000 which Betrix called.
Traian Stanciu: 10?9? 
Manoe Betrix: K?K?
Betrix had kings, but Stanciu had a monster combo draw. The 3? turn put Stanciu ahead with a flush and he just had to avoid a fourth diamond to double-up. The A? hit the river and Stanciu won the pot with a flush.
