On a board of 4♦7♣J♥3♣, Marius Pertea bet 41,000 from the small blind. Then, Sorin Flutur eventually called on the button.
The 3♣ completed the board, and Pertea continued with a bet of 90,000. Flutur quickly called with J♣4♥ for two pair and won the pot, as Pertea had 7♠4♠ for a lower two pair.
With 48 players remaining for 47 places in the money, we are on the bubble.
The tournament director stopped the clock and he is breaking a table. So the hand-for-hand play is about to begin.
On a board of A♠6♥4♥3♣K♥ with roughly 75,000-80,000 in the pot, Eduard Norel on the button bet 84,000 on the river. In the cutoff, Nir Fartuk went into the tank. "I can't fold" he said after a long moment, so he called with remaining chips.
Nir Fartuk: A♦Q♠
Eduard Norel: 8♣7♦
Fartuk called with top pair, and caught Norel bluffing. He doubled up, and one more elimination is still needed to reach the bubble.
Cosmin Nedelea open-shoved for 123,000 from under the gun, and was only called by Razvan Belea in the cutoff.
Cosmin Nedelea: A♣K♦
Razvan Belea: Q♦Q♦
The dealer fanned a flop of K♠3♦K♥, which gave trips to Nedelea, who doubled up after the turn 7♦ and the river 2♠.
In a blind versus blind situation, Patrice Ramkhelawan found himself at risk for 34,000 from the big blind against Sandor Szekely in the small blind.
Patrice Ramkhelawan: A♣8♠
Sandor Szekely: 10♦2♥
Ramkhelawan discreetly clenched his fists to celebrate after hitting trips on the flop A♠A♦3♥. The turn 4♠ opened a straight draw for Szekely, but the river Q♦ didn't change anything, so Ramkhelawan doubled up.
Level: 15
Blinds: 2,000/5,000
Ante: 5,000
After an open to 9,000 by the player under the gun, Marius Pertea three-bet to 35,000 from middle position. Sebastian Gorecki to his left then raised all in for 115,000. The initial raiser folded, but Pertea called.
Sebastian Gorecki: A♣K♥
Marius Pertea: Q♣Q♥
Pertea hit a set on the flop 5♠Q♠8♣, and a full house thanks to the turn 8♥. Drawing dead, Gorecki saw the J♠ land on the river and left the table.
Sebastian Ionita went all in for 34,000 from early position. Then Henry Broens three-bet to 80,000 from the hijack. All the other players folded
Sebastian Ionita: Q♣J♠
Henry Broens: A♠K♦
Ionita hit a jack on the flop J♦7♦4♠ and was on his way to double up. But after the turn 10♥, the K♥ landed on the river to give the best pair to Browns and send Ionita to the rail.
Carsten Meyer-Nordhorn was under the gun when he shoved for 47,000 chips. Then Lawrence Lazar to his left three-bet all in for 110,000. All the other players folded, so cards went on their backs.
Carsten Meyer-Nordhorn: A♦3♦
Lawrence Lazar: Q♠Q♣
Meyer-Nordhorn hit a pair on a flop of 9♣3♣7♠, but it wasn't enough to beat Lazar's queens. So after the turn K♥ and the river 2♦, Meyer-Nordhorn was eliminated.
