An Orbit with Sam 'TheSquid' Grafton
Level 23
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
If there's one thing we've learned this week at the PokerStars Festival Bucharest, it's that the Romanian's aren't here to mess around.
Based on what we've seen from the side-lines here, play has been fast, aggressive and a certainly a tad unpredictable. Today alone, we lost half the Main Event starting field just two 60-minute levels into play.
Find out more about when the PokerStars Blog experienced an orbit with Sam Grafton here.

Goje Wins Threeway All-in
Level 23
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
The cards were on their backs between three players pre-flop with Samuel Viorel Goje all-in and at risk.
Goje: 
Ozdemir: 
Ciaca: 
The flop came 
and Ozdemir was asking for a club. The turn was a 
and Goje's rail was asking in Romanian for what sounded like a deuce. How do we know? Because the river was the 
and his rail exploded as he catapulted his name up the leaderboard

Flutur Eliminated by Eclapier
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Johann Eclapier raised to 75,000 from the cutoff and Yuriy Kudrynskyy called on the button. Mircea Flutur three-bet all in for 530,000 from the big blind. Eclapier called and Kudrynskyy folded.
Eclapier: 
Flutur: 
Despite being ahead, Eclapier still called for a jack on every street, something which has the potential for the karma gods to get angry. However, there was no cause for alarm as the board ran out 
and Flutur was eliminated.
