Miller Eliminated by Serban
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
A player opened to 4,500 from early position and another called in middle position. Ori Miller then three-bet all in from the hijack for around 30,000. Dan Serban was in the cutoff and cold four-bet all in over the top. The first two players folded and the cards were turned over.
Miller was perhaps looking to steal with 
but Serban had woken up with 
. The board ran out 
with Serban eliminating Miller, and this pot going some of the way to repairing the damage done in a hand a few minutes previously.

Faces from Day 2
"How Can I Win Tournaments When I Run Like This?"
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
There was an almighty commotion at Table 4 and we headed over to find Ersoy Cagdas raking in a massive pot early in the second level of the day.
After he had finished stacking his chips (and it took some time!) he told us about what had happened.
A player had opened to 4,000 from early position and Cagdas called in the cutoff. The button called and Ciprian Paunescu three-bet to 15,000 from the small blind. The three other players in the hand called and they saw a flop.
Paunescu bet 30,000 on a flop of 
and Cagdas was the only caller.
The turn was the . This time Paunescu checked and Cagdas moved all in for 36,500, covering his opponent. Paunescu called.
Paunescu: 
Cagdas: 
Both players had turned full houses, with Paunecu's being higher. However, the river was the card that had caused such a ruckus, as it came the giving Cagdas quad jacks and leaving Paunescu short.
"How can I win tournaments, when I run like this!" exclaimed Paunescu, who immediately took a short break away from the table, perhaps to cool off after such a cooler.
