Zanfirache Coolers Anghel in Massive Pot

Josh Noy

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Rares Popa opened to 13,000 in the hijack before Alexandru Anghel announced a three-bet to 37,000 in the small blind. Ionut Zanfirache then four-bet to 86,000 in the big blind and Popa got out of the way.

Anghel took a moment before five-betting to 150,000, snap-calling when Zanfirache moved all in.

Alexandru Anghel: K♣K♥ All in
Ionut Zanfirache: A♣A♦

The largest pot of the tournament was playing out, as Anghel's stack of 424,000 was in the middle and covered by Zanfirache.

The 9♥J♣2♣Q♠8♣ runout changed nothing, as Anghel's kings could not topple Zanfirache's aces confirming his exit.
