Straight for Ciuca
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Virgil Balan opened from middle position and was called by Alexandru Matei in the cutoff and Andrei Ciuca in the big blind.
All three of them checked the flop K♣J♠4♠. But on the turn Q♦, Ciuca lead out with a bet of 1,200. Balan called, while Matei folded.
The 10♦ came on the river, and Ciuca bet a single blind. Balan eventually called, but saw the pot going in Ciuca's direction as he showed K♥9♥ for a straight.
