Matthew Warburton

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Bogdan-Alexandru Ionescu open-shoved from middle position for 185,000 and was looked up by Iosif-Daniel Spulber, who made the call in the big blind with the covering stack.

Bogdan-Alexandru Ionescu: A♠5♦ All in
Iosif-Daniel Spulber: Q♣10♣

Spulber pulled ahead on the 5♥2♥Q♥ flop, but the A♦ turn gave Ionescu two pair, aces and fives. The river was the 7♣ and Ionescu held to win the pot, doubling his stack.
