An Entertaining Pot...if you Speak Romanian

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Andrei Nodea raised to 6,000 from under the gun. Silviu Baltateanu three-bet from the cutoff to 52,800 and was all in. It folded back to Nodea who called.

Nodea: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Baltateanu: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

The flop came {q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and both players laughed. The turn was the {3-Spades} and the river the {3-Hearts}.

50% of the PokerStars Festival Bucharest Main Event field was Romanian, and unfortunately we don't speak Romanian. But over the last few days, we have noticed that the Romanians are very expressive people, and this is what we think Nodea and Baltateanu said to one another after the conclusion of the hand

"What a flop!" Nodea said, gesturing to the two queens.

"It was all going in on the flop, even if I didn't go all in pre-flop," replied Baltateanu.

"Maybe it goes check-check," replied Nodea, "Then we both make a full house!"

"Why did you have to have Ace-Queen!" said Baltateanu.
