Heads up on a board of 2♣5♠10♦, the big blind took the lead and bet 1,000. But Roberth Cazan wasn't impressed, so he called in the cutoff.
Then on the turn J♠, the big blind slowed down. Cazan took this opportunity to bet 3,000. The big blind check-called.
The A♥ landed on the river, but brought no more action as both players checked. Confident to win, the big blind revealed 7♥5♦ for a pair. But Cazan had K♥5♣ for the same pair, but with a better kicker.
Lica Nastrut and Marian Virlanuta both flipped their cards preflop, with Nostrum being the one at risk for 19,000 chips.
Lica Nastrut: J♥J♠
Marian Virlanuta: A♣K♣
Nastrut easly doubled up, as he hit a set on the flop J♣2♥A♥, then a full house on the turn A♦. The Q♥ completed the board, and he is back to the starting stack.
Mihai Prisacariu opened from under the gun. Patrick Bueno to his left called, as well as a third player, but Maxence Carbonneaux raised on the button.
Immediatly, Mihai Prisacariu shoved for 67,000. Bueno reshoved for his last 9,000 and Carbonneaux went into the tank. He eventually folded QxQx.
Patrick Bueno: K♦10♥
Mihai Prisacariu: A♦Q♥
The board K♥8♥4♠3♣2♠ brought a king on the flop, to give a pair to Bueno who more than doubled up.

Then on the river 8♥, Petrea fired a second barrel of 3,000 and Virlanuta called. But he directly threw his cards into the muck when Petrea showed 8♠7♠.
Moments after she reentered the tournament, Andreia Coman three-bet to 5,500 from the button after Stefan Toderita opened to 2,000.
