Monteleone Loses Heaps; Busts

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante
The Grand Ballroom is Bursting on Day 1b
The Grand Ballroom is Bursting on Day 1b

A big pot was brewing over on table 20 and Aldo Monteleone bet the heads-up river of {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for 20,000. Levente Pal was his sole remaining opponent and moved all in for another 5,000 on top, which Monteleone called.

Pal turned over {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for two pair, queens and jacks. Monteleone mucked his cards to heavily that the {10-Spades} was exposed and apparently had the worse two pair. Monteleone lost the remainder of his stack shortly after while Pal jumped to six digits.

Angel Remains in Contention

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante

Radu Angel doubled his tiny stack previously when cracking pocket tens with {K-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and he just did so again with {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs} against the {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} of Manred Sierke. The board came {J-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Angel doubled to around one third of the starting stack.

Many others were less fortunate and all joined the rail throughout the last 15 minutes.

Two More Headphones Awarded

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante

Marius Pertea, who won the Unibet Open at this very venue last year, has successfully re-entered and doubled his stack. Along the way he made a full house that involved three eights and scooped up new Sony headphones, and Vlad Anton Dinu did so as well. Dinu however has three times as many chips as Pertea and appears to be the current chip leader.

Angel Runs Out of Fortune

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Manfres Sierke had previously doubled with {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades} versus {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} after cracking the top set of Lucian Neagoe on a board of {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}.

Radu Angel tried the same with {J-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} against the pocket queens of Neagoe and was drawing dead on the turn of an ace-high board before Bogdan Nastase sucked out with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} against Neagoe's {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} thanks to the {Q-Hearts} on the turn.
