Vornicu Making Moves

Valentin Vornicu is a name that you might not know unless you've been following the WSOP Circuit. Vornicu has two rings to his name, and also a seat at the National Championship this year after winning the Player of the Series at Harrah's Rincon last month. Well Vornicu is here in LA for the Main Event, and we just caught a glimpse into what makes this young player so tough.

There was 2,000 in the middle on a flop that read {7-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. When we got there, Vornicu had moved all in for about 9,000 after his opponent had fired out 2,200. His opponent tanked for about a minute before folding, and Vornicu showed {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for absolute air. His opponent simply gave a nod as Vornicu collected the pot to get back up to 13,500.
