Early Double Up for Voinea
Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
No deal was made, so both players sat down to play for the win of the tournament.
They just played a few hands before Sebastian Ionita opened to 500,000 on the button. Ionut Voinea three-bet to 1,800,000 in the big blind, then Ionita four-bet all in for 11,000,000. Voinea snap-called with the shortest stack.
Ionut Voinea: A♣Q♥
Sebastian Ionita: J♣J♠
This flip could have been the last hand of the tournament. But on a board of Q♠9♦5♠K♠3♦, Voinea hit a better pair to double up. He now owns 85% of the chips.
