Stoica Loses Back-to-Back Pots
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Jose Malpelli saw K♠10♥ in the hijack and raised it to 160,000. Roman Stoica flat-called 9♠9♣ on the button, and the two went heads up to the 6♥J♥Q♦ flop.
Malpelli quickly threw in a bet of 175,000, enough to let Stoica muck his cards and take the pot.
One hand later, Raul Mestre opened Q♣J♠ to 175,000 in middle position. Roman Stoica called K♠Q♠ in the cutoff, and David Djian defended A♠3♣ in the big blind.
The 9♥2♥3♠ flop and 4♠ turn were checked by the trio, and so was the 4♥ river. Dijan took down the pot with A♠3♣ for two pair.
