Classic Race Dooms Stoica to Rail
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Dimitrios Gkatzas opened to 50,000 in early position, and was three-bet to 150,000 by Roman Stoica on the button. Gkatzas moved all in when it folded back to him, and Stoica was quick to call off his stack of 1,070,000.
Roman Stoica: Q♥Q♣ 
Dimitrios Gkatzas: A♣K♠
Gkatzas paired up on the 7♥K♥8♣ flop, providing him with a big lead. The 9♣ turn did not help Stoica, and the K♦ river upgraded Gkatzas to trips to secure Stoica's elimination.
