Shabani Out-Kicks Lapascu

Level 25
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Genc Shabani made it 60,000 from under the gun and Matei Lupascu called in the big blind.
They saw a flop of 2?10?5? where Lupascu checked, Shabani bet 45,000, Lapascu made it 155,000, and Shabani called.
Lapascu fired 150,000 on the 4? turn, then Shabani shoved for 455,000. Lapascu took a while but eventually dropped in calling chips.
Genc Shabani: A?10?
Matei Lupascu: Q?10?
Shabani had his opponent dominated and the J? river changed nothing, which saw his stack swell up to around 1,400,000.
