Nita Triples Up

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Ion Nita ended up all in for 8,300 and Mihnea Potcoava was all in for slightly more, while Marius Pertea had both easily covered to create a three-way showdown on the table of defending champion Andrei Racolta.

Ion Nita: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Mihnea Potcoava: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Marius Pertea: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

The board came {j-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Nita tripled up. Potcoava was left with very few chips and busted shortly after.

Ivgi Jams Up His Stack

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

It started rather innocent with a raise to 1,300 in early position and three callers including Kfir Ivgi in the small blind. By the time the turn showed {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}, Ivgi checked and called a bet by Florin Iliescu in late position. The {j-Diamonds} came on the river and Ivgi jammed for 29,400 in total.

Eventually, Iliescu folded the {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} face up and Ivgi revealed the {10-Hearts}. "Is that good?" he asked and continued "no jack and it is pain for you."

Gennaro Proscia
Gennaro Proscia

With more than 50,000 already in the middle and the completed board showing {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, Gennaro Proscia bet 26,000 and Sorin Radulescu used one time bank before making the call.

Somehow it was Radulescu that showed first, revealing {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, and Proscia had that beat with {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} to further add to his massive stack.
