A Massive Pot for Tabac

Maxime Taldir

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

On a flop of 2♦8♥3♠ with roughly 50,000 in the pot, Dumitru Barta bet 18,000 from the cutoff. But Cristian Tabac, seated in the small blind, check-raised to 72,000.

Barta went into the tank, then three-bet to 140,000. It took a long moment for Tabac to make a decision, but just before the clock was called, he called.

The 4♦ froze the action as both players checked. But on the river A♣, Tabac directly moved all in for approximately 150,000. Barte eventually folded.

Shahar Folds Ace-Queen Preflop

Maxime Taldir

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Everybody folded to Ionut Decher in the small blind, who limped. Then in the big blind, Ran Shahar raised to 18,000.

Action back to him, Decher seemed to hesitate for a second before moving all in for 179,000.

On the other side of the table, Shahar went deep into the tank. "Maybe it will be the biggest mistake of my tournament," he said. And after a minute, he eventually folded A♣Q♣ face up.

"I'm not gambling," he added, while Decher was expressing his surprise.
