Ciuca Keeps Winning

Maxime Taldir

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 4,000 ante

On a board of 4♦6♠10♥8♣2♦ with 45,000 in the pot, Andrei Ciuca announced "all in" for 85,500 from the button after Cristian Sandu bet 27,000 on the river from the big blind. Sandu immediately took a pile of chips to snap-call.

Andrei Ciuca: 8♠8♥
Cristian Sandu: 6♥6♦

Both players had a set, but Ciuca had the best one. Sandu punched the table in anger and left the table, while Ciuca doubled up.

Moments later, the table broke. There are now three tables remaining with 27 players left

Berinde Descends Into Hell

Maxime Taldir

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 4,000 ante

Bogdan Berinde had more than the average stack a few minutes ago. But he was down to 36,000 when he moved all in from the button.

Andrei Ciuca, who doubled through him a bit earlier, went into the tank, but seemed like he had to call.

Bogdan Berinde: K♥Q♣
Andrei Ciuca: 3♥3♦

Berinde's descent into hell continued as Ciuca hit a set on the flop 3♣7♣Q♦. And even if Berinde had a set on the turn Q♠, it gave a full house to Ciuca who eliminated Berinde after the river 10♥.

Dudakov Makes Dinovic Fold

Maxime Taldir

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 3,000 ante

Dmitri Dudakov and Milovan Dinovic were both in the blinds when they discovered the flop 10♠5♣2♣.

Dudakov, who opened to 8,000 preflop, continued with a bet of 4,500. But Dinovic raised to 15,000. Dudakov called, then checked the turn 7♣. Dinovic checked back.

On the river 9♠, Dudakov led out with a bet of 27,000. Dinovic thought about it for a few seconds, but folded.

Ciuca Triples Up

Maxime Taldir

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 3,000 ante

After Bogdan Berinde opened to 5,500 from early position and was called by Catalin Leahu to his left, Andrei Ciuca shoved for 26,000 from middle position.

Rares Popa decided to call in the cutoff. Berinde wanted more, so he raised all in for roughly 160,000, the biggest stack on the table. Leahu folded, and Popa went deep into the tank. He eventually folded.

Andrei Ciuca: Q♥Q♦
Bogdan Berinde: A♥K♥

On a board of J♣4♣9♥7♠9♣, Ciuca's queens held so he tripled up.
