Sava Krink

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Danut Chisu opened the action with a raise to 60,000 from the cutoff, drawing calls from Paul Runcan in the small blind and Adrian Mack in the big blind.

The 10♥3♠A♠ flop saw both blinds check to Chisu, who continued with a bet of 80,000. Only Runcan called as Mack stepped aside.

On the 6♣ turn, Runcan checked again, and Chisu fired a second barrel of 120,000. Runcan stayed steady and made the call.

Both players opted to check the J♠ river. Runcan revealed A♣9♠ for a pair of aces, which was enough to take down the pot as Chisu sent his cards into the muck.
