Ionel Steadily Building Stack
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante
Fausto Tantillo opened to 7,500 from middle position and was called by Anton Ionel on the button as well as the big blind.
Action checked to Tantillo following the 
flop and he continued for 9,000. Ionel called while the big blind folded to generate heads-up action going to the turn.
Both players checked through the 
turn to the 
river at which point Tantillo checked once more. Ionel was not prepared to go to showdown just yet and tossed 16,000 into the middle. Tantillo wasted little time in folding to send a modest pot over to Ionel who has been steadily adding to his stack throughout the day.
