Gheorghe Butuc Leads Final 18 in EAPT Bucharest Main Event
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
From 73 players at the beginning of Day 2, only 18 remain and have qualified for Day 3 of the 2023 €560 Eurasian Poker Tour Main Event at the 888poker Room in Bucharest.
Out of 486 entries, they'll come back to the last two tables of the tournament tomorrow, Sunday, November 12, hoping to reach the final table and then take for the €36,000 first-place prize.
Day 2 was pretty short (only seven levels of play), but Gheorghe Butuc didn't need more to build up a stack of 2,725,000, the biggest one of all. With him, only Razvan Paduraru (2,300,000) and Sebastian Ionita (2,000,000) managed to end the Day with more than two millions chips.

A big gap of almost twenty blinds separates the first three players from Vlad Murgulet (1,350,000), Cristian Rajala (1,340,000), and the rest of the Top 10. With 1,060,000 chips, Andrei Nodea (1,060,000) is one of these players, as he took Alexandru Anghel's stack to end the Day.
Chip leader when Day 2 started, Ionut Voinea is now in the second half of the field (1,045,000), with Bogdan Trifanescu (665,000), Raoul Iancovici (500,000), and Andrei Iordache (440,000), who holds the shortest stack. More than aiming to win, their first goal will be to secure a seat at the final table.
Day 3 is scheduled to begin on at 2 p.m. local time. Play will resume with 40:00 remaining on Level 23, which features 20,000/40,000 blinds with a 40,000 big blind ante. Then, levels will increase to 60 minutes, and keep running until a winner is crowned.

End of Day 2
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Day 2 was scheduled to play until the final table, but the tournament director has announced an end to the day with 18 players and two tables remaining.
Alexandru Anghel Eliminated in 19th Place (€1,930)
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
After he shoved from under the gun, Andrei Iordache tried to convince all his tablemates not to call. And he was convincing enough, because everybody folded, even John Two with AxJx.
Meanwhile on another table, Alexandru Anghel didn't wait for them to fold as he moved all in earlier for his last 400,000 chips. Andrei Nodea eventually called from the big blind.
Alexandru Anghel: A♠7♥
Andrei Nodea: 9♣9♥
The flop K♠2♠10♣ was no help for Anghel, who was still waiting for an ace after the turn 6♣. But the 5♥ landed on the river, and Anghel lost his wings in 19th place for €1,930.

Level 22
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
In a blind versus blind situation, Aristeidis Ktenioudakis in the small blind and Gheorghe Butuc in the big blind raised each other, Ktenioudakis ending up moving all in for roughly 570,000.
Aristeidis Ktenioudakis: A♠7♣
Gheorghe Butuc: J♠J♣
The board 4♠9♣8♣2♠3♦ didn't bring Ktenioudakis the ace he needed to double up, so he was eliminated.

: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Corneliu Cretu: A♣3♣
Ionut Voinea: 6♠6♣
The dealer fanned a board of 9♥J♥5♥K♣7♣, and Voinea's sixes kept the lead. Finishing 21st, Corneliu Cretu wins €1,650. Eliminated at the same time, Milovan Dinovic takes the same cash prize.

Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Dumitru Barta was seeing standing up in front of a board of 9♥10♦8♦K♦3♣ with his cards already on their backs, as he went all in for 350,000 against Florentin Constantin.
Dumitru Barta: Q♣J♦
Florentin Constantin: A♦Q♦
Barta had the best straight on the flop, but Constantin hit the nut flush on the turn to send Barta to the rail. This hand happened just as Mihai Prisacariu was being eliminated on another table.
