Malpelli Attempts to Trap Stoica

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

It folded to Jose Malpelli in the small blind, who made the minimum raise to 100,000. Roman Stoica tossed in a quick call in the big blind, and called again when Malpelli added another 100,000 to the pot on the 52Q flop.

The 7 turn and Q river were then checked to showdown. Malpelli revealed A5 for the nut flush, and Stoica tabled the 4 before he mucked his other card.
