Players of the Main Event are on a 10-Minute break. When they come back, late registrations will be closed.
After an open to 3,200, Corneliu Cretu three-bet to 8,000 from middle position. Then Stefan Ionita moved all in for 29,500 from the cutoff. The initial raiser folded, but Cretu went into the tank.
He asked for the count, and eventually folded, revealing J♣J♠.
"Crazy fold", said a player at the table when he left to go on a break.

Moments after the only woman of the field Andreia Coman was eliminated, Lucian Banica behind her jammed for 15,400 from the cutoff. Iulian Tataru, who opened from middle position, made the call.
Lucian Banica: A♦J♠
Iulian Tataru: K♣K♠
Even if he hit a jack on a board of 4♣8♥3♥J♣2♥, Banica couldn't do much against Tataru's kings and was eliminated.

"All in" Gheorghe Bilea said with his last 15,000 chips in the hijack. Vasile Berciu said the same sentence with 12,500 chips in the small blinds, and both players' cards went on their backs.

Gheorghe Bilea: A♥K♥
Bilea asked for diamonds to help his opponent, but none of them came on the 9♣J♣5♠6♥4♣ board, so Berciu was eliminated.

Alexandru Ersen was under the gun when he opened to 2,500. All the other players folded, except for Octavian Borcan in the big blind.
Both players checked on the flop 9♣8♥5♣, and tapped the table again on the turn A♣.
But after Borcan checked a third time the river K♠, Ersen bet 1,200. Borcan quickly called, but mucked his cards after Ersen Q♣Q♠.
