Paunescu Loses a Bunch Early On
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
"I win, queens no good," Ciprian Paunescu declared when the A♥9♣6♦3♥8♣ river was checked between him and Patrick Legrand. There were some 9,000 in the middle and Paunescu confidently rolled over the A♣5♣ for the top pair.
Legrand had a queen in the hand but it was the A♠Q♦, as the superior kicker won the pot for Legrand.
