Chisu To The Rail
Level 6
: 250/500, 75 ante
After an early position raise to 1,500, Danut Chisu moved in for 10,000 in late position. His opponent took thirty seconds before making the call.
"Yes!" exclaimed Chisu, before letting out a loud chuckle.
Danut Chisu: 
Opponent: 
The flop came down 
, giving Chisu plenty to work with. The 
turn brought even more help but the 
river was a stone-cold brick.
