Thijs Menco Shows his Aggression

Thijs Menco opened to 125,000 from the button and was three-bet by chip-leader Tobias Peters from the big blind to 335,000. Menco called.

The flop came and Peters continued for 280,000. Menco thought for a while and then raised to 780,000 and Peters folded.

The pot was a staggering 1.7m and it meant that Menco now joins Pim van Wassenberg in vying for the chip lead. Menawhile Peters dropped back to 1,300,000, still 500,000 clear of short-stack Dennis Bijen
