The Money Bubble is Looming

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Mihai Manole had started the day with just five big blinds and was able to spin that up to around 60,000, but the Romanian was just spotted on the way out of the tournament area. There are only 58 players remaining and the money bubble with 54 spots paid is looming in the fourth level of the day.

Georgios Tavoularis
Georgios Tavoularis

Iulian Andrei Bleau was not amused at all when his bluff went wrong with a big river bet upon seeing an ace appear, as Marian Strachinescu called with ]Kd9s] for a flopped pair of nines. and Bleau lost yet another pot right after when Georgios Tavoularis flipped well with {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} against his {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} on a board of {10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.

In the meanwhile, Luca Moschitta has been sent to the rail on a different table.

Nog long ago Andrei Nodea had doubled through Razvan Bordei with a big blind special and he now sent his fellow countryman to the rail.

Ivan Stankov
Ivan Stankov

Catalin Pop sits on a stack of half a million and was kind enough to provide the details of his recent boost, which saw Solomon Stan head to the rail. Pop defended his big blind against a raise to 10,000 by Stan and checked the {Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop, Stan checked behind.

On the {6-Clubs} turn, Pop bet 28,000 and Stan called before the {Q-Diamonds} river brought another bet of 38,000 by Pop. Stan shoved for 140,000 with {A-Clubs}{8-} and Pop called with the {Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for trips queens. to eliminmate Stan.

Ivan Stankov, who started the day second in chips, is also no longer in contention and busted before the money. The roller coaster ride of the Bulgarian ended after a clash with Andrei Alecu, who also jumped up to half a million in chips.
