Colavita Stuns Skanis to Take the Chip Lead
Nivel 36
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Renars Skanis raised to 1,000,000 from middle position and Mario Colavita called from the big blind.
They went to a flop of Q♦7♠2♦ where Colavita check-called a bet of 1,000,000 from Skanis to see the 9♦ drop on the turn. Again Colavita checked, Skanis fired 2,000,000, and Colavita slid forward a stack of calling chips.
A board-pairing 9♥ fell on the river and Colavita checked for a third time, then Skanis shoved. Colavita had 4,700,000 behind and was burning through his time banks. Eventually, after using three, Colavita tossed in a chip to signify a call.
"Good call," said Skanis as he rolled over A♣6♣. Colavita flipped K♠Q♣ for a pair of queens, and took the chip lead with that huge call!
