Three to the Money

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Aleeyah Jadavji
Aleeyah Jadavji

Aleeyah Jadavji had carefully waited for a spot with her short stack and the run eventually came to an end a few spots off the money.

Further casualties just before the money included Adrian Voiculescu and Victorio Piturca. The latter lost a flip for his last 80,000 against Bogdan Berinde when he came up second-best with {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} versus {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} on a board of {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{k-Spades}.

Hand-For-Hand Mode Imminent

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Marian Mitran busted just before the blinds went up and Gusti Adrian Sas did so a few minutes into the new level. As a result, there are only 64 players remaining and the stone-cold money bubble has been reached. One table will now break and the action then recommences in hand-for-hand mode.

Gheonu Shows a Bluff

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The first hands on the money bubble didn't provide any showdowns and the bubble is yet to burst. Several big stacks apply pressure to add even more chips to their growing towers and one of them is Mihai Gheonu. He was just involved in a hand with George Rotariu, who bet the {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades} turn for 35,000. Gheonu in the cutoff raised to 115,000 and forced a fold, he shows a bluff with the {a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}.

Jaksland Doubles on the Bubble

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Peter Jaksland
Peter Jaksland

Peter Jaksland defended his big blind and ended up at risk for 32,000 on the {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop. He was called by George Dimuleasa in late position and the cards were turned over once all other tables were finished.

Peter Jaksland: {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
George Dimuleasa: {k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

"King-nine has not been good to me today," Jaksland said, as he had his aces cracked by that very hand. This time, it would not be his nemesis hand as the {a-Clubs} turn and {8-Diamonds} river were blanks to secure the double for the Dane.

Ramlal Basdeo Bubbles the Main Event in Bucharest

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Ramlal Basdeo Bubbles
Ramlal Basdeo Bubbles

There were three all in and call in hand number 10 on the money bubble on three separate tables. Ramlal Basdeo was at risk and called two ways, and Zhiping Zeng bet the checked down board of {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs} on the river. Cristian Tardea folded and Zeng showed {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for the nut flush, Basdeo had {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} for top set.

Another three-way all in emerged with Johannes Roumen at risk. He faced Alexandru Constantin and Marian Virlanuta, the latter bet the {k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs} river for 43,000 to force a fold from Constantin. VVirlanuta showed {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}, which Roumen had beat with {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} to triple up.

Last but not least, a very short-stacked Denis Poteras was all in with {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} out of the small blind and Mihai Gneonu showed {7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} on the button. The board came {k-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and that left Basdeo as only seat open to become the bubble boy.
