Dimitrios Loses a Big Chunk

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

With more than 40,000 already in the middle and the completed board showing {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, Dimitros Dimitrios bet 16,500 and his sole remaining opponent Razvan Bordei called after just brief consideration.

"Almost a flush," Dimitrios announced and turned over {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts} for a bluff that got caught. Bordei had that beat with {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} and boosted his stack nicely.

Baltateanu Back on Third Bullet

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Cosmin Toma Berechet's bet of 2,500 on a heads-up flop of {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades} was good enough to force his opponent into a fold and the Romanian flashed {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} for a pair of eights to boost his stack slightly.

Silviu Baltateanu has as many chips as Toma Berechet, though he is already on the third bullet in order to do so. Baltateanu re-joined after the dinner break and scored a double through chip leader Cristian Tardea.

Pre Dinner Casualties

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Ivaylo Damyanov Peevski, Viliyan Petleshkov and Valentin Alexandru Dobrescu all ran out of chips before the dinner break started, as did Ozgur Arda before immediately joining the action again.

Dobrescu lost the lion's share of his stack when ending up second best with {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} against the {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} of Carmen Zainescu, the board ran out {J-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}.

Toma Busts Flesner

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Nicolae Toma raised on the button and called the shove of short stack Emanuel Flesner for 6,700 only to create the following showdown.

Emanuel Flesner: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Nicolae Toma: {A-Clubs}{3-Spades}

The {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop paired the ace of Toma, and the {9-Diamonds} turn and {Q-Clubs} river were both blanks to send Flesner to the rail.

Updated Counts

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Cristian Tardea appears to be the current run away chip leader with more than five times the starting stack and it was him that busted Stefan Bucur earlier. Just now Tardea flopped a straight with the {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} on a board of {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} only for the river to go check, check between him and Danut Chisu.

Chips and a Go Pro Camera for Tatu

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante
Florin Tatu
Florin Tatu

The floor was called over to table one while Florin Tatu had a big grin on the face. His {J-Spades}{10-Spades} were still tabled while he dragged in a pot of 20,000 with the board showing {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{Q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}. Tatu's flopped royal flush won him not only even more chips, but tournament sponsor 888poker also awarded a Go Pro camera, and Tatu's fortune was shortly after announced over microphone in the entire tournament area.
