Paunescu Chips Up in Three-Way Action
Level 25
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Ciprian Paunescu raised to 100,000 from under the gun and earned calls from Alfredo Cuti in the small blind as well as Besnik Lalinovci in the big blind. The trio checked the 
flop and Cuti also checked the 
on the turn.
Lalinovci now bet 250,000 for Paunescu to call and Cuti let go after some consideration.
The 
river was checked by Lalinovci and Paunescu bet 600,000 to send his opponent into brief agony. With a confused look on the face, Lalinovci mentioned in table chat he had two pair and once he folded, he claimed to have let go of jack-nine.
