Sergiu Covrig was all in and at risk against Silviu Pana with one card to come on the 9♣3♠A♠Q♠ board.
Sergiu Covrig: Q♦9♥
Silviu Pana: A♦9♦
Covrig hit two pair on the turn but was still trailing Pana's superior two pair. The Q♥ river changed that, as Covrig improbably hit a full house to double up and stay alive on the bubble.
Thomas Gartiser shoved his last 125,000 from early position and was at risk when Alexandru Lupuleac moved his larger stack all in on his left. The rest of the table folded, and the cards were turned up.
Thomas Gartiser: A♥4♠
Alexandru Lupuleac: A♦9♦
Gartiser could not catch up on the 8♦10♠6♣6♥9♥ runout, ending his tournament run. Andrei Wauters joined him on the rail after busting at a nearby table.
Bogdan Maciuca opened to 100,000 in the hijack before Dumitrache Mihai moved all in to his immediate left. Action folded back around to Maciuca, who committed the rest of his short stack.
Bogdan Maciuca: A♣Q♥
Dumitrache Mihai: A♦K♠
Maciuca was in a tough spot, and the 9♠7♣7♠5♣2♥ runout was no help as Mihai scored the knockout.
Cristian Tabac opened on the button and Rami Awad called in the big blind to the 8♦8♥6♥ flop.
Awad checked to Tabac, who fired 17,000 into the middle. Awad answered by check-raising to 43,000, with Tabac calling to the 8♠ turn.
This time, Awad led out for 100,000 and Tabac used a time bank card while contemplating his next move. Tabac decided to let his hand go, as Awad raked in the pot.
In the 822nd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by WPT Global,Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz & Kyna England come to you from Level 9 Studios in Las Vegas to discuss the latest poker news, stories, and gossip.
That includes Nik Airball's 20-minute tank in a big hand on The Lodge Poker Live Stream, which prompted Doug Polk to take action. That led to a discussion on pet peeves at the table, and in Mike's case, the pet part is quite literal.
The crew also plays the first edition of PokerNews Plinko, discusses Chad's poker thrift store "Tweet of the Week," and talks about the current state of poker given Bitcoin is at an all-time high. From there, they dive into the wild journey of poker vlogger Corey Eyring, who is risking his entire net worth in an attempt to win $500,000 by the end of the year. Whatever amount he ends up with, the plan is to place it all on a single roulette bet of either red or black. Chad chatted with Eyring about his crazy quest and highlighted various clips throughout the episode.
Did you know the PokerNews Podcast is no longer just audio? That's right, we've added a video show as well that you can view on the PokerNews YouTube Channel.
