Nedelea Among Early Big Stacks
Level 2
: 100/200, 25 ante
There was plenty of banter going on in a bigger pot between Ionel Anton and Cosmin Nedelea and the duo ended up checking through an ace-high river with some 10,000 in the middle. Anton flashed 
for a rivered straight and Nedelea mucked 
for a flopped set of sevens much to the surprise of Anton.
More table chat broke out between the duo and Nedelea replied back "it's okay, I got enough chips for now." Indeed Nedelea has almost doubled his stack early on already.
Next to Anton sits Orestis Kanakopoulos, and Tudor Lazar has racked up most of his cashes in Spain thus far.

The Ducks Work for Lungu
Level 2
: 100/200, 25 ante
On the three-way turn of 
, Andrei Gabriel Roscan bet 1,100 and Radu Lungu called, while Adrian Petrus folded. The 
on the river brought a check by Roscan and he quickly called a bet of 3,000 by Lungu, who flipped over 
for bottom set. Roscan mucked 
with a dry smile on the face and could have likely lost even more chips.

Tavoularis Busts Sabau Set Over Set
Level 2
: 100/200, 25 ante
Andrei Racolta and Georgios Tavoularis are the two early big stacks and the latter just scored a knockout over on table one in set over set fashion.
Tavoularis raised to 600 from under the gun and was called by Alexandru Cinca and Razvan Nicolae Sabau in the small blind. The flop of 
was checked to Cinca, who bet 900 and both called. On the 
turn it was once again Cinca that bet 4,200 and Sabau as well as Tavoularis called.
Sabau then shoved the river and Tavoularis called, Cinca folded. Sabau showed 
for a full house, but Tavoularis had the better full in 
. "Nice hand man, but I did most of the work," Cinca joked.

Nearing 200 Entries for Day 1b
Level 3
: 150/300, 25 ante
Eight players out of the 198-entry strong field have been eliminated thus far and the latest casualty included Adrian Corneliu Lazar. The Pokerfest Romania organizers are not worried at all about reaching the €288,000 guarantee for this event and it may already be surpassed once the registration for Day 1b closes at the start of level eight with the Turbo Heat 1c to come at 11 p.m. local time still.

Radu Angel and Aurel Iovan both had hit a full house with
