Saliba Takes from Racolta

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Vivian Saliba raised to 3,000 and Andrei Racolta three-bet to 11,000, which Saliba called. Both players checked the {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and on the {8-Hearts} turn, Saliba checked before calling a delayed continuation bet of 11,000. There was no betting action on the {7-Clubs} river and Saliba turned over {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}, Racolta mucked {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}.

Luca Moschitta
Luca Moschitta

Within quick succession, Silviu Baltateanu, Pierre Tassin, Marius Pertea and Laurentiu Ioan Mihaila were sent to the rail.

Luca Moschitta was more fortunate and tripled up his short stack of 14,000. Moschitta's shove was called by big stack Florin Tatu and Dimitros Dimitrios, and the latter bet the {J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop to force a fold from Tatu.

Luca Moschitta: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Dimitros Dimitrios: {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The {4-Diamonds} turn and {A-Spades} river were of no help for Dimitrios and Moschitta tripled up.

Roscan Escapes from Elimination

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Ozgur Arda raised in the cutoff and quickly called the shove of short stack Andrei Gabriel Roscan in the big blind for 11,200.

Arda showed the {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Roscan was at risk with {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. The {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop all but sealed the fate of Roscan and he was about to grab his belongings, needing a king for the higher straight and a nine for the chop. The {J-Clubs} turn changed nothing whatsoever, but the {9-Clubs} river at least secured him half of the pot.

On a flop of {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}, Vivian Saliba bet 8,400 and Andrei Racolta raised to 17,000. Saliba moved all in and Racolta folded.

At almost the same time, Dimitros Dimitrios and Alexandru Dulama had been eliminated.

Dimitrios lost most of his chips after doubling up Catalin Pop, then he lost the remainder of his stack to Florin Tatu after losing a flip with {J-Hearts}{J-Spades} versus {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. The board came {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Tatu caught both over cards to eliminate the Greek.

last but not least, Dulama didn't get there with the {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} against Michael Teplitski's {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}.
