Nedelcu Runs Into Better Ace

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Narcis Nedelcu
Narcis Nedelcu

Nursing a short stack, Narcis Nedelcu found an opportunity to move all in preflop for his remaining chips. With the pot unopened when the action got to him in the cutoff, he moved his stack of 9,000 into the middle. Darren McBrearty looked at his cards in the big blind and called.

Narcis Nedelcu: A10 All in
Darren McBrearty: AJ

The 4910 moved Nedelcu into the lead, but it was short-lived when the dealer introduced the J to the board.

The K river changed nothing, and Nedelcu said his goodbyes to the table.
