Last Level of the Night

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Alexandru Papazian has slowly but surely grinded up a decent stack and is among the biggest stacks in the last level of the night. The first ever Romanian to win a WSOP bracelet, and online wizard, has more than six times the starting stack as the clock is ticking down for the remaining 29 players.

Magda Left Short

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

On the river of a board {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}, Stefan Razvan Magda faced a bet of 25,000 by table neighbor Boaz Kolenbrener and reluctantly called, then mucked when being shown {9-Spades}{7-Spades} for a back door flush by Kolenbrener. That reduced the stack of Magda to a mere 35,000 and he will be under immediate pressure for the remainder of the day.

Moschitta Cracks Aces; Alecu Wins a Flip

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Luca Moschitta
Luca Moschitta

Cornel Petrescu and Luca Moschitta clashed in a big preflop all in and both had very similar stacks with the former ending up as the player at risk.

Cornel Petrescu: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Luca Moschitta: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop gave Moschitta top set, and the {7-Spades} turn and {6-Clubs} river failed to restore the preflop order.

One table over, Andrei Alecu had a big flip for his last 78,000 with the {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and Catalin Liviu Gheorghe looked him up with {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} for two over cards. The board came {6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and Alecu doubled with a set.

Neagoe Rivers Trips

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Darius Valentin Neagoe
Darius Valentin Neagoe

Vivian Saliba check-raised all in after a bet of 10,000 by Daniel Stoian on the flop of {J-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and the 888poker ambassador forced a fold to leave Stoian among the shorter stacks.

One table over, Darius Valentin Neagoe raised to 5,000 in the cutoff and Michael Teplitski called on the button. The {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop and {4-Diamonds} turn went check, check, and Neagoe bet the {5-Diamonds} river for 15,500. Teplitski used one time bank extension but couldn't find a fold, then mucked when Neagoe turned over {K-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for rivered trips fives.

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Dan Petrea
Dan Petrea

Soon after the last six hands of the night were announced, Dan Petrea got his short stack of 35,500 in before the flop and Vivian Saliba looked him up with the superior stack.

Dan Petrea: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Vivian Saliba: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

The {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} board brought no upset and Petrea doubled his short stack, while Saliba dropped some.

Tatu Chip Leader No More

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Florin Tatu
Florin Tatu

Florin Tatu was miles ahead of the rest of the field not long ago but has since dropped back into the middle of the pack. Nicolae Sorin Son was responsible for the disappointing end of the day for Tatu after scooping two bigger pots.

The second hand saw Tatu defend his big blind and invest 20,000 on the {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{A-Diamonds} turn before checking the {J-Spades} river. Son used one time bank extension before betting 32,000 in the cutoff and Tatu called. Son turned over {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts} for a rivered full house and a quite upset Tatu flashed {6-Spades}{3-Spades} for a flush.
