Blebea Puts a Dent in Geilich's Mountain
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ludovic Geilich opened from middle position and Iulian Blebea made it 85,000 to go from the cutoff. When it got back to Geilich, he put in a four-bet to 213,000. Blebea responded with a five-bet shove to 701,000, which gave Geilich something to think about.
"Are you gonna show me a five?" Geilich kept repeating to himself. "Or king-queen?" he added. After some time, Geilich did make the call, which left Blebea at risk.
Iulia Blebea: Q♠Q♦ 
Ludovic Geilich: A♥10♦
Blebea had the lead with his queens but it's never comfortable seeing that overcard of your opponent when you're all-in. However, Blebea had nothing to fear as the J♣8♥3♣6♣9♥ runout kept his Ladies in the lead, and he doubled up.
