Anton Ionel

Anton Ionel finally made a stand and moved all in from the small blind for 845,000. He held the {J-Clubs}{J-Spades} and was called by Galen Hall in the big blind who held the {K-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

The flop came down {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and kept Ionel in the lead. The turn brought the {7-Spades} to pair the board, but it changed nothing. Hall still needed a king to eliminate Ionel in fourth place.

The river completed the board with the {2-Hearts} and Ionel's patience paid off as he doubled up to 1.7 million in chips. That's still less than 10 big blinds.
