Penescu Bets Big, Shows the Goods
Level 3
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Marius Dragoita, Victor Angelescu, Gabriel Penescu, and David Arbel put in 4,500 as they went four-handed to the 9♠7♦7♠ flop.
Penescu, in the big blind, then tossed out 6,500 and Angelescu called, as did Arbel in the hijack. Dragoita also came along from the small blind.
The turn came the 6♦ and Penescu bet 36,000 this time. Angelescu and Arbel quickly folded, but Dragoita went into the tank for several minutes.
He eventually decided to fold as Penescu flashed A♦A♥, taking down the pot and increasing his stack to around 200,000, the largest in the room so far.
