Pereira Stuns Rotariu on the River
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Daniel Novak raised to 24,000 in early position before Antonio Pereira moved all in for 171,000 in the small blind. George Rotariu reshoved in the big blind and Novak folded.
Antonio Pereira: A♥J♥
George Rotariu: 8♣8♠
The flop came K♣Q♠5♣ and Pereira picked up a straight draw to go with his overcards. "Don't cry," tablemate Rania Nasreddine said to Novak, who claimed to have folded king-queen.
The turn was the 8♥ and Rotariu spiked a set to leave Pereira drawing only to a straight. The 10♠ indeed spiked on the river to earn Pereira a double up.
"This is too f**king sick, I swear," Rotariu said as he threw his sunglasses on the table and watched as the pot headed over to Pereira.
"If I make the final table after this, it's unbelievable," Rotariu added.

Bedir Coolers Baltateanu
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
A massive pot of around 450,000 was already in the middle as Selahaddin Bedir and Silviu Baltateanu went heads-up to the river on a board of J♦A♥Q♥9♣6♦.
Bedir then bet 250,000 from the big blind. Baltateanu gave it some thought in middle position, but eventually decided to call.
Bedir showed A♦Q♠ for two pair and Baltateanu mucked. "Ace-jack," he said, suggesting he had flopped a smaller two pair as Bedir raked in the pot to climb past 2,000,000.
