Moraru Flops Gin, Casella Doubles One Hand Later
Level 23
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Catalin Moraru raised to 300,000 in middle position. It folded to big blind Pasquale Casella, who defended after some thought.
Both players then checked the 9♠2♠2♥ flop, prompting Casella to fire 300,000 on the 5♠ turn. Moraru called to the K♥ river, which Casella checked. Moraru bet 800,000 in response, and Casella quickly called.
Moraru showed 9♥9♦ for a flopped full house, raking in the pot.
However, Casella did not mourn his chips for long, as he doubled up against chipleader Tobias Peters the very next hand with a flopped set of sevens.
