Stoica Crosses Seven Figures
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Jose Malpelli raised to 30,000 in the cutoff, and Roman Stoica called in the small blind. The 8♣A♥8♥ flop saw Malpelli continue for another 30,000. Stoica check-called, after which both players knuckled the table on the 6♥ turn.
Stoica then tossed in 35,000 on the Q♦ river. Malpelli wanted to raise to 165,000, but slid in a stack of chips worth 100,000 first. Despite his protest, the raise was ruled as 100,000, which Stoica quickly called.
Malpelli showed down K♥9♣ for a bluff, leaving Stoica to take the pot with A♠4♠ for aces and eights.
