Rotariu Takes A Rough Beat
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
George Rotariu ended up all in and at risk for around 160,000 out of the big blind and Derek Reid called to see himself miles behind with 
versus 
. Rotariu nailed the 
flop, but somehow came up second-best with a cruel run out as the 
turn and 
river gave Reid a straight.
Soon after, Day 1a chip leader Marian Virlanuta was eliminated by Toni Judet to reduce the field further.
