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 5♣2♣Q♣ flop.
The 7♣ turn and Q♥ river were then checked to showdown. Malpelli revealed A♣5♥ for the nut flush, and Stoica tabled the 4♣ before he mucked his other card.
